$A$ mass of $20\ kg$ is hanging with the support of two strings of the same linear mass density. Now,pulses are generated in both strings at the same time near the joint at the mass. The ratio of the time taken by a pulse to travel through string $1$ to that taken by a pulse on string $2$ is:

The equation of a transverse wave propagating along a stretched string of length $80 \ cm$ is $y=1.5 \sin \{(5 \times 10^{-3} x) + 20 t\}$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and the time $t$ is in seconds. If the mass of the string is $3 \ g$,then the tension in the string is: (in $N$)

The extension in a string obeying Hooke's law is $x$. The speed of sound in the stretched string is $v$. If the extension in the string is increased to $1.5x$,the speed of sound will be (in $,v$)

The equation of a wave on a string of linear mass density $0.02 \text{ kg m}^{-1}$ is $Y = 0.01 \sin [2\pi (t/0.02 - x/0.50)] \text{ m}$. The tension in the string is (in $\text{ N}$)
