Will the sound be audible if the string is set into vibrations on the surface of the moon?

Solution

Sound is a mechanical wave, and we know that mechanical waves require medium to travel, as there is no medium (atmosphere) on the moon, so sound produced by string cannot travel there and no sound will be audible.
