A steel wire of circular cross-section has a diameter of 0.80 mm0.80\,\text{mm}. The density of steel is 7.85 g/cm37.85\,\text{g/cm}^3. Calculate the minimum tension required in the wire for transverse waves to propagate at 2.5×102 m/s2.5\times10^{2}\,\text{m/s}. Express your answer to two significant figures.
