Two children stretch a jump rope between them and send wave pulses back and forth on it. The rope is 2.1 m long, its mass is 0.42 kg, and the force exerted on it by the children is 69 N.   What is the linear mass density of the rope (in kg/m)?     What is the speed of the waves on the rope (in m/s)?
