wave speed of the second wave 55.1 m/s

Explanation:

The wave speed of the second wave will going to be same i. e 55.1 m/s. As speed of wave is dependent on the medium and here in this case medium is remain same for second wave also i. e string only, no change in the medium noticed, therefore speed of second wave still remain same i. e 55.1 m/s.
