Timing pulses traveling down a wire


An astronaut on a small planet wishes to measure the local value of g by timing pulses traveling down a wire which has a large object suspended from it. Assume a wire of mass 3.80 g is 1.60 m long and has a 3.00-kg object suspended from it. A pulse requires 43.6 ms to traverse the length of the wire. Calculate gplanet from these data. (You may neglect the mass of the wire when calculating the tension in it.)
