$A$ wire of variable mass per unit length $\mu = \mu_0 x$ is hanging from the ceiling as shown in the figure. The length of the wire is $l_0$. $A$ small transverse disturbance is produced at its lower end. Find the time after which the disturbance will reach the other end.

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{8l_0}{g}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{4l_0}{g}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{2l_0}{g}}$

One end of a string is tied to the ceiling of a lift and a load is attached at the bottom end of the string. When the lift is moving upwards with an acceleration of $2.1 \,ms^{-2}$, the speed of the transverse wave at the lower end of the string is $88 \,ms^{-1}$. If the lift moves downwards with an acceleration of $1.9 \,ms^{-2}$, the speed of the transverse wave at the lower end of the string is (take $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$): (in $\,ms^{-1}$)
