Figure shows a string of linear mass density `1.0g cm^(-1)` on which a wave pulse is travelling. Find the time taken by pulse in travelling through a distance of `50 cm` on the string. Take `g = 10 ms^(-2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`0.05 s`
`v=sqrt((1xx10)/(10^(-3)//10^(-2)))=10m//s,t=(L)/(v)=(0.5)/(10)=0.05 sec`

A uniform string of length 20m is suspended from a rigid support. A short wave pulse is introduced at its lowest end. It starts moving up the string. The time taken to reach the support is : (take g = 10ms^(-2) )

One end of a long string of linear mass density 8.0 xx 10^(-3) kg m^(-1) is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 256Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of 90kg. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At t=0, the left end (fork end) of the string x=0 has zero transverse displacement (y=0) and is moving along positive y-direction. The amplitude of the wave is 5.0 cm. Write down the transverse displacement y as function of x and t that describes the wave on the string.
