SOLUTION: The velocity v of a pulse travelling in a string varies directly as the square root of the tension T in the string.If the velocity of a pulse in a string is 150m/s when the tension

Question 1197644: The velocity v of a pulse travelling in a string varies directly as the square root of the tension T in the string.If the velocity of a pulse in a string is 150m/s when the tension is 90.0N,find the velocity when the tension is 135N.
I tried the method :v=k.square root T. 150=k. square root 90 k=15.8 when the tension is 90.0N,v=(15.8)square root 135
