A man gerates a symmetrical pulse in a strin by moving his hand up and down. At `t = 0` the point in his hand moves downward. The pulse travels with speed `3 m//s` on the string & his handsd pass `6` times in each second from the mean position. Then the point on the string t a distance `3m` will reach its upper extreme first at time `t = n//12`. Find `n`

A

`1.25 sec`

B

1 sec

C

`(11)/(12) sec`

D

none

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Frequency of wave `= (6)/(2)-3 rArr T=(1)/(3) s, lamda -vT=(3)((1)/(3))=1m`
Total time taken `= (3)/(3)+(3T)/(4)=1.25 sec`.

A uniform string of length 6.5 m is subjected to a tension of 40 N . Mass of the string is 162.5 g . One end of the string is fixed and the other end is tied to a source (s). which produces a transverse oscillation. The displacement of the end of the string tied to the source can be expressed as y = (3 mm) sin (40 pi t) , where ‘t’ is time. Find the displacement of point P of the string at a distance of 3.75 m from the fixed end, at time t = 0.3 s .
