A horizontal wire has one end fastened to a wall while the other end is pulled with a force of 200 N. The wire has a length of 5 m, a volume mass density of 7,000 kg/m3 , and a resistivity of 6.9e-07 Ωm. A transverse pulse takes 0.2 s to travel the length of the wire. Calculate the electrical power dissipated by the wire while a current of 2 A is passing through the wire.
