A flexible steel cable of total length L...

A flexible steel cable of total length `L` and mass per unit length `mu` hangs vertically from a support at one end. (a) Show that the speed of a transverse wave down the cable is `v =sqrtg(L - x)`, where `x` is measured from the support. (b) How long will it takes for a wave to travel down the cable?
