2018 F = ma Exam B — Question 11

A circle of rope is spinning in outer space with an angular velocity ω . Transverse waves on the rope have 0 speed v , as measured in a rotating reference frame where the rope is at rest. If the angular velocity of 0 the rope is doubled, the new speed of transverse waves, as measured in a rotating reference frame where the rope is at rest, will be
