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`
