A heavy stone of mass m is hung from the ceiling by a thin 8.25-g wire that is 65.0 cm long. When you gently pluck the upper end of the wire, a pulse travels down the wire and returns 7.84 ms later, having reflected off the lower end
The stone is heavy enough to prevent the lower end of the wire from moving. What is the mass m of the stone?
A) 8.90 kg
B) 23.1 kg
C) 35.6 kg
D) 227 kg
E) 349 kg
Answer: C
