    The formula we can use in this case would be:

    v = sqrt (T / (m / l))

    Where,

    v = is the velocity of the transverse wave = unknown (?)

    T = is the tension on the rope = 500 N

    m = is the mass of the rope = 60.0 g = 0.06 kg

    l = is the length of the rope = 2.00 m

    Substituting the given values into the equation to search for the speed v:

    v = sqrt (500 N / (0.06 kg / 2 m))

    v = sqrt (500 * 2 / 0.06)

    v = sqrt (16,666.67)

    v = 129.10 m/s
