  • A
    $\sqrt{gx}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2gx}$
  • C
    $2\sqrt{gx}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2g(L - x)}$

$A$ uniform rope of mass $0.1 \,kg$ and length $2.45 \,m$ hangs from a rigid support. The time taken by a transverse wave formed in the rope to travel through the full length of the rope is (Assume $g = 9.8 \,m/s^2$). (in $\,s$)

The mass per unit length of a uniform wire is $0.135 \, g/cm$. $A$ transverse wave of the form $y = -0.21 \sin(x + 30t)$ is produced in it,where $x$ is in meters and $t$ is in seconds. Then,the expected value of tension in the wire is $x \times 10^{-2} \, N$. The value of $x$ is (Round off to the nearest integer).
