The speed of a wave on a string is $150 \,ms^{-1}$ when the tension is $120 \,N$. The percentage increase in the tension in order to raise the wave speed by $20 \%$ is

$A$ 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 $PQ$ has length $4.8 \ m$ and mass $0.06 \ kg$. Another wire $QR$ has length $2.56 \ m$ and mass $0.2 \ kg$. Both wires have the same radii and are joined as a single wire. This wire is under a tension of $80 \ N$. $A$ wave pulse of amplitude $3.5 \ cm$ is sent along the wire $PQ$ from end $P$. The time taken by the wave to reach the other end of the single wire is (No power is dissipated during propagation). (in $s$)

$A$ mass of $20\ kg$ is hanging with the support of two strings of the same linear mass density. Now,pulses are generated in both strings at the same time near the joint at the mass. The ratio of the time taken by a pulse to travel through string $1$ to that taken by a pulse on string $2$ is:
