$A$ uniform metal wire has length $L$,mass $M$,and density $\rho$. It is under tension $T$,and $v$ is the speed of a transverse wave along the wire. The area of cross-section of the wire is:

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

Two strings with circular cross section and made of same material are stretched to have the same amount of tension. $A$ transverse wave is then made to pass through both the strings. The velocity of the wave in the first string having the radius of cross section $R$ is $v_1$,and that in the other string having radius of cross section $R/2$ is $v_2$. Then $\frac{v_2}{v_1} = $

$A$ uniform string of length $20 \ m$ is suspended from a rigid support. $A$ short wave pulse is introduced at its lowest end. It starts moving up the string. The time taken to reach the support is (take $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$):

$A$ string of mass $2.5\ kg$ is under a tension of $200\ N$. The length of the stretched string is $20.0\ m$. If a transverse jerk is struck at one end of the string,the disturbance will reach the other end in .... $\sec$.
