A taut string having tension 100 N and linear mass density `0.25 kg//m` is used inside a cart to generate a wave pulse starting at the left end, as shown. What should be the velocity of the cart so that pulse remains stationary w.r.t. ground.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the velocity of the cart such that the wave pulse generated on the string remains stationary with respect to the ground. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Calculate the velocity of the wave pulse on the string The velocity of a wave on a string can be calculated using the formula: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] where: ...

A large mass M and a small mass m hang at the two ends of string that passes through a smooth tube as shown in fig. The mass m moves around in a circular path which lies in a horizantal plane. The length of the string from the mass m to the top of the tube is of length l and theta is the angle this length makes with the vertical, what should be the frequency of rotation of the mass m so that M remains stationary if M=16kg, m=4kg, l=1m and g=pi^(2)m//s^(2)

Two long strings A and B, each having linear mass density 1.2×10−2kgm−1, are stretched by different tensions 4.8 N and 7.5 N respectively and are kept parallel to each other with their left ends at x = 0. Wave pulses are produced on the strings at the left ends at t = 0 on string A and at t = 20 ms on string B. When and where will the pulse on B overtake that on A ?

Two uniform thin rods A and B of length 0.6 m each and of masses 0.01 kg and 0.02kg respectively are rigidly joined end to end. The combination is pivoted at the lighter end, P as shown in fig. Such that it can freely rotate about point P in a vertical plane. A small object of mass 0.05kg, moving horizontally, hits the lower end of the combination and sticks to it what should be the velocity of the object so that the system could just be reised to the horizontal position.

The pulse shown in figure has a speed of 10 cm//s . (a) If the linear mass density of the right string is 0.25 that of the left string, at what speed does the transmitted pulse travel? (b) Compare the heights of the transmitted pulse and the reflected pulse to that of the incident pulse.

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 ?
