$A$ transverse wave travels on a taut steel wire with a velocity of $v$ when the tension in it is $2.06 \times 10^{4} \; N$. When the tension is changed to $T$,the velocity changes to $v/2$. The value of $T$ is close to:

$A$ wire of linear mass density $\mu = 10^{-2} \, kg \, m^{-1}$ passes over a frictionless light pulley fixed on the top of a frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal. Masses $m$ and $M$ are tied at two ends of the wire such that $m$ rests on the plane and $M$ hangs freely vertically downwards. The entire system is in equilibrium and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of $100 \, m \, s^{-1}$.

$A$ string of length $0.4\, m$ and mass $10^{-2}\, kg$ is tightly clamped at its ends. The tension in the string is $1.6\, N$. Identical wave pulses are produced at one end at equal intervals of time $\Delta t$. The minimum value of $\Delta t$ which allows constructive interference between successive pulses is .... $s$
