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 $kg \ m^{-1}$)

$A$ block of mass $1\, kg$ is hanging vertically from a string of length $1\, m$ and mass per unit length $\mu = 0.001\, kg/m$. $A$ small pulse is generated at its lower end. The pulse reaches the top end in approximately .... $s$.

The mass per unit length of a uniform wire is $0.135 \, g/cm$. $A$ transverse wave of the form $y = -0.21 \sin(x + 30t)$ is produced in it,where $x$ is in meters and $t$ is in seconds. Then,the expected value of tension in the wire is $x \times 10^{-2} \, N$. The value of $x$ is (Round off to the nearest integer).

$A$ string of mass $2.5 \, kg$ is under some tension. The length of the stretched string is $20 \, m$. If the transverse jerk produced at one end of the string takes $0.5 \, s$ to reach the other end,the tension in the string is .... $N$
