A unifrom rope of length L and mass m_1 hangs vertically from a rigid support.A block of mass m_2 is attached to the free end of the rope.A transverse pulse of wavelengh lambda_1 is produced at the lower end of the rope.The wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is lambda_2 .The ratio lambda_1//lambda_2 is :

A string of linear mass density 0.5 g cm^-1 and a total length 30 cm is tied to a fixed wall at one end and to a frictionless ring at the other end. The ring can move on a vertical rod. A wave pulse is produced on the string which moves towards the ring at a speed of 20 cm s^-1 . The pulse is symmetric about its maximum which is located at a distance of 20 cm from the end joined to the ring. (a) Assuming that the wave is reflected from the ends without loss of energy, find the time taken by the string to regain its shape. (b) The shape of the string changes periodically with time. Find this time period. (c) What is the tension in the string ?

A uniform chain of mass M and length L is held verticallyi in such a way that its lower end just touches the horizontal floor. The chain is released from rest in this position. Any portion that strikes the floor comes to rest. Assuming that the chain does not form a heap on the floor, calculate the force exerted by it on the floor when a length x has reached the floor.

A string of length 20 cm and linear mass density 0.4 g//cm is fixed at both ends and is kept under a tension of 16 N. A wave pulse is produced at t=0 near an end as shown in figure which travels towards the other end. (a) When will the string have the shape shown in the figure again? (b) Sketch the shape of the string at a time half of that found in part (a).

A stone of mass m tied to the end of a string revolves in a vertical circle of radius R. The net forces at the lowest and highest points of the circle directed vertically downwards are : [Choose the correct alternative T_1 and v_1 denote the tension and speed at the lowest point. T_2 and v_2 denote corresponding values at the highest point.

A heavy but uniform rope of lenth L is suspended from a ceiling. (a) Write the velocity of a transverse wave travelling on the string as a function of the distance from the lower end. (b) If the rope is given a sudden sideways jerk at the bottom, how long will it take for the pulse to reach teh celling ? (c ) A particle is dropped from the ceiling at the instant the bottom end is given the jerk where will the particle meet the pulse ?

A metre stick weighing 240 g is pivoted at its upper end in such a way that it can freely rotate in a vertical plane through this end figure. A particle of mass 100 g is attached to the upper end of the stick through a light sting of length 1 m. Initially the rod is kept veritcal and the string horizontal when the system is released from rest. The particle colides with the lower end of the stick and sticks there. Find the maximum angle through which the stick will rise.

A wheel of moment of inertia I and radius r is free to rotate about its centre as shown in figure. A string is wrapped over its rim and a block of mass m is attached to the free end of the string. The system is released from rest. Find the speed of the block as it descends through a height h.

A uniform ladder of length 10.0 m and mass 16.0 kg is resting against a vertical smooth wall making an angle of 37^@ with it. An electrian weighing 60.0 kg climbs up the ladder. If the stays on the ladder at a point 8.00 m from the lower end, what will be normal force and the force of friction on the ladder by the ground? What should be the minimum coefficient of friction for the electrician to work safely?
