  • A
    $\frac{V}{T\rho}$
  • B
    $\frac{T}{V^{2}\rho}$
  • C
    $\frac{T^{2}}{V\rho}$
  • D

If the initial tension on a stretched string is doubled,then the ratio of the initial and final speeds of a transverse wave along the string is:

$A$ steel wire has a length of $12.0 \;m$ and a mass of $2.10 \;kg$. What should be the tension in the wire so that the speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air at $20\,^{\circ}C = 343 \;m s^{-1}$?

In the figure shown,a mass of $1 \ kg$ is connected to a string of mass per unit length $1.2 \ g/m$. The length of the string is $1 \ m$ and its other end is connected to the ceiling of a lift which is accelerating upwards with an acceleration of $2 \ m/s^2$. $A$ transverse pulse is produced at the lowest point of the string. The time taken by the pulse to reach the top of the string is .... $s$. (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
