$A$ heavy uniform rope is suspended vertically from a ceiling and is in equilibrium. $A$ pulse is generated at the bottom end of the rope as shown. As the pulse travels up the rope,its acceleration at any instant is ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity).

  • A
    Constant and equal to $\frac{g}{2}$
  • B
    Variable but equal to $\frac{g}{2}$ when the pulse is exactly at the middle of the string
  • C
    Constant and equal to $g$
  • D
    Variable but equal to $g$ when the pulse is exactly at the middle of the string.

The equation of a travelling wave on a stretched string of linear mass density $5 \, g/m$ is $y = 0.03 \sin(450t - 9x)$,where distance and time are measured in $SI$ units. The tension in the string is ... $N$.

$A$ block $M$ hangs vertically at the bottom end of a uniform rope of constant mass per unit length. The top end of the rope is attached to a fixed rigid support at $O$. $A$ transverse wave pulse (Pulse $1$) of wavelength $\lambda_0$ is produced at point $O$ on the rope. The pulse takes time $T_{OA}$ to reach point $A$. If the wave pulse of wavelength $\lambda_0$ is produced at point $A$ (Pulse $2$) without disturbing the position of $M$,it takes time $T_{AO}$ to reach point $O$.
