What are the significant similarities and differences between longitudinal and transverse waves? give examples of each.

They are both mechanical waves that need a material for their propagation. longitudinal - their direction and travel are on the same plane i.e sound while the direction of travel and direction of vibration in transverse are perpendicular to each other i.e light.

    5.5 n======    assuming that      we have      m = 0.145 kg    a = 38 m/s²therefore    5.51 n, but two significant figures.final answer: 5.5 n

Following the american gauge wire standards ,the larger gauge number, the slimmer the wire and thus the smaller current carrying capacity it can have.then both statements would be incorrect, as they are saying the opposite of what it is actually is.(smaller gauge numbers have thicker wires and can carry more current)
