$A$ string is producing transverse vibration whose equation is $y = 0.021 \sin(x + 30t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in meters and $t$ is in seconds. If the linear density of the string is $1.3 \times 10^{-4} \ kg/m$,then the tension in the string in $N$ will be:

$A$ heavy rope is suspended from a rigid support. $A$ transverse wave pulse is set up at the lower end,then

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

$Assertion :$ Two waves moving in a uniform string having uniform tension cannot have different velocities.
$Reason :$ Elastic and inertial properties of string are same for all waves in same string. Moreover,the speed of a wave in a string depends on its elastic and inertial properties only.

$A$ wire is under tension of $2 \text{ kg wt}$ and a wave is travelling through it with some speed. Tension in the wire is so increased that the wave travels through it with thrice the original speed. The increase in tension is (in kg wt)
