$A$ 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
    $V \rho^{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{V^{2}}{\rho}$
  • C
    $\frac{\rho}{V^{2}}$
  • D
    $V^{2} \rho$

$A$ transverse wave is passing through a string as shown in the figure. The mass density of the string is $1 \ kg/m^3$ and the cross-sectional area of the string is $0.01 \ m^2$. The equation of the wave in the string is $y = 2 \sin(20t - 10x)$. The hanging mass is (in $kg$):-

$A$ transverse wave is travelling on a string with velocity $V$. The extension in the string is $x$. If the string is extended by $50 \%$,the speed of the wave along the string will be nearly (Hooke's law is obeyed).

$A$ 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 $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$):
