A pulse is started at a time `t=0` along the `+x`direction on a long, taut string. The shape of the pulse at `t=0` is given by function `f(x)` with ` {((x-vt)/4+1,for,vt-4ltx,le,vt),(-(x-vt)+1,for,vt,ltxlt,vt+1):}`
`0`, otherwise
here `f` and `x` are in centimeters. The linear mass density of the string is `50 g//m` and it is under a tension of `5N`.
C..The transverse velocity of the particle at `x=13 cm` and `t=0.015 s` will be

A

`2 cm^(2)`

B

`2.5 cm^(2)`

C

`4 cm^(2)`

D

`5 cm^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
