$A$ pulse is generated at the lower end of a hanging rope of uniform density and length $L$. The speed of the pulse when it reaches the midpoint of the rope is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{2 g L}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{g L}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{g L}{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{g L}}{2}$

Two strings $(A, B)$ having linear densities $\mu_{A} = 2 \times 10^{-4} \ kg/m$ and $\mu_{B} = 4 \times 10^{-4} \ kg/m$ and lengths $L_{A} = 2.5 \ m$ and $L_{B} = 1.5 \ m$ respectively are joined. Free ends of $A$ and $B$ are tied to two rigid supports $C$ and $D$,respectively,creating a tension of $500 \ N$ in the wire. Two identical pulses,sent from $C$ and $D$ ends,take time $t_1$ and $t_2$,respectively,to reach the joint. The ratio $t_1 / t_2$ is:

$A$ string of mass $2.50 \;kg$ is under a tension of $200\; N$. The length of the stretched string is $20.0 \;m$. If the transverse jerk is struck at one end of the string,how long (in $sec$) does the disturbance take to reach the other end?

$A$ string of length $L$ is stretched by $\frac{L}{20}$ and the speed of transverse waves along it is $v$. The speed of the wave when it is stretched by $\frac{L}{10}$ will be (assume that Hooke's law is applicable).

$A$ rope of length $L$ and uniform linear density is hanging from the ceiling. $A$ transverse wave pulse,generated close to the free end of the rope,travels upwards through the rope. Select the correct option.

$A$ string of $7 \; m$ length has a mass of $0.035 \; kg$. If the tension in the string is $60.5 \; N$,then the speed of a wave on the string is .... $m/s$.
