In the given figure the string has mass 4.5 g. Find the time taken by a transverse pulse produced at the floor to reach the pulley. `(g = 10 ms^(-2))`
.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Total length of string `=2+0.25=2.25m`
Mass per unit length
`m=(4.5xx10^-3)/2.25`
`=2xx10^-3kg/m`
`T=2g=20N`
`wave speed v=sqrt((T/m))`
`sqr((20/(2xx10^-3)))`
`=sqrt10^4`
`=10^2m/s=100m/s`

Time taken to reach the pulley,
`t=(s/v)`
`=2/100=0.02sec`.
