$A$ composite string is made up by joining two strings of different mass per unit length,$\mu$ and $4\mu$. The composite string is under the same tension $T$. $A$ transverse wave pulse,$Y = (6 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t + 40x)$,where $t$ is in seconds and $x$ is in meters,is sent along the lighter string towards the joint. The joint is at $x = 0$. The equation of the wave pulse reflected from the joint is:

  • A
    $(2 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t - 40x)$
  • B
    $(4 \text{ mm}) \sin(40x - 5t)$
  • C
    $-(2 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t - 40x)$
  • D
    $(2 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t - 10x)$

One end of a string is tied to the ceiling of a lift and a load is attached at the bottom end of the string. When the lift is moving upwards with an acceleration of $2.1 \,ms^{-2}$, the speed of the transverse wave at the lower end of the string is $88 \,ms^{-1}$. If the lift moves downwards with an acceleration of $1.9 \,ms^{-2}$, the speed of the transverse wave at the lower end of the string is (take $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$): (in $\,ms^{-1}$)
