$A$ pulse is generated at the lower end of a hanging rope of uniform density and length $L$. The speed of the pulse when it reaches the midpoint of the rope is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{2 g L}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{g L}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{g L}{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{g L}}{2}$

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 $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

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:

$A$ transverse wave is travelling with velocity $V$ through a metal wire of length $L$ and density $\rho$. The tensile stress in the wire is

$A$ string of mass $0.1 \, kg$ is under a tension $1.6 \, N$. The length of the string is $1 \, m$. $A$ transverse wave starts from one end of the string. The time taken by the wave to reach the other end is (in $s$.)

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 $\text{ N}$)
