The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving a rotating loop of string and a small disturbance created in it. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Parameters:** - Mass per unit length of the string: \( \mu \) - Radius of the loop: \( R \) - Angular velocity of the loop: \( \omega \) 2. **Consider a Small Element of the Loop:** - Take a small element of the loop with an angular width \( d\theta \). - The length of this small element is given by \( dL = R d\theta \). - The mass of this small element is \( dm = \mu \cdot dL = \mu \cdot R d\theta \). 3. **Centripetal Force Acting on the Element:** - The centripetal force required to keep this mass moving in a circle is given by: \[ F_c = dm \cdot R \cdot \omega^2 = \mu \cdot R d\theta \cdot R \cdot \omega^2 = \mu R^2 \omega^2 d\theta \] 4. **Tension in the String:** - Let \( T \) be the tension in the string. The tension provides the necessary centripetal force. - The forces acting on the small element must be in equilibrium. The vertical components of the tension must balance the centripetal force: \[ F_c = 2T \sin\left(\frac{d\theta}{2}\right) \] - For small angles, \( \sin\left(\frac{d\theta}{2}\right) \approx \frac{d\theta}{2} \). 5. **Setting Up the Equation:** - Substitute the approximation into the force balance equation: \[ \mu R^2 \omega^2 d\theta = 2T \cdot \frac{d\theta}{2} \] - Simplifying gives: \[ \mu R^2 \omega^2 d\theta = T d\theta \] 6. **Solving for Tension:** - Cancel \( d\theta \) from both sides (assuming \( d\theta \neq 0 \)): \[ T = \mu R^2 \omega^2 \] 7. **Wave Velocity in the String:** - The wave velocity \( v \) in the string is given by: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} = \sqrt{\frac{\mu R^2 \omega^2}{\mu}} = R \omega \] 8. **Considering the Observer's Frame:** - The linear speed of the disturbance for a stationary observer is the sum of the speed of the string and the speed of the disturbance: \[ v_{\text{total}} = v + v = R\omega + R\omega = 2R\omega \] ### Final Answer: The linear speed of the disturbance for a stationary observer is: \[ \boxed{2R\omega} \]
