Abstract: The wave velocity of transverse wave in vertical suspended string is calculated analytically.The result  can be also obtained by using the formula of wave velocity in a spring with uniform tension,which means that the  formula can be applied for a spring with uneven tension.

Key words: spring, transverse wave, wave velocity
