The equation of a transverse wave propagating on a stretched string is given by $y = 3 \sin (4x + 200t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in metres and the time $t$ is in seconds. If the tension applied to the string is $500 \ N$,the linear density of the string is: (in $kg \ m^{-1}$)

$A$ string of mass $m$ and length $l$ hangs from a ceiling as shown in the figure. $A$ wave in the string moves upward. $v_A$ and $v_B$ are the speeds of the wave at points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Then $v_B$ is

$A$ 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 $100 \, m \, s^{-1}$.
