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 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?
Mass of the string, $M=2.50\, kg$
Tension in the string, $T=200\, N$
Length of the string, $l=20.0\, m$
Mass per unit length, $\mu=\frac{M}{l}=\frac{2.50}{20}=0.125\, kg\, m ^{-1}$
The velocity $(v)$ of the transverse wave in the string is given by the relation:
$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{200}{0.125}}=\sqrt{1600}=40 \,m / s$
$\therefore$ Time taken by the disturbance to reach the other end, $t=\frac{l}{v}=\frac{20}{40}=0.50 \,s$

Write equation of transverse wave speed for stretched string.
One end of a long string of linear mass density $8.0 \times 10^{-3}\;kg m ^{-1}$ is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency $256\; Hz$. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of $90 \;kg$. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At $t=0,$ the left end (fork end) of the string $x=0$ has zero transverse displacement $(y=0)$ and is moving along positive $y$ -direction. The amplitude of the wave is $5.0\; cm .$ Write down the transverse displacement $y$ as function of $x$ and $t$ that describes the wave on the string.
