$A$ wire of variable mass per unit length $\mu = \mu_0 x$ is hanging from the ceiling as shown in the figure. The length of the wire is $l_0$. $A$ small transverse disturbance is produced at its lower end. Find the time after which the disturbance will reach the other end.

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{8l_0}{g}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{4l_0}{g}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{2l_0}{g}}$
  • D

Two strings $(A, B)$ having linear densities $\mu_{A} = 2 \times 10^{-4} \ kg/m$ and $\mu_{B} = 4 \times 10^{-4} \ kg/m$ and lengths $L_{A} = 2.5 \ m$ and $L_{B} = 1.5 \ m$ respectively are joined. Free ends of $A$ and $B$ are tied to two rigid supports $C$ and $D$, respectively, creating a tension of $500 \ N$ in the wire. Two identical pulses, sent from $C$ and $D$ ends, take time $t_1$ and $t_2$, respectively, to reach the joint. The ratio $t_1 / t_2$ is:

The ratio of radii of two wires is $1: 2$ and the ratio of the densities of their materials is $1: 4$. If the same tension is applied to both wires,then the ratio of the speed of transverse waves produced in them is

$A$ string $1\,m$ long is driven by a $300\,Hz$ vibrator attached to its end. The string vibrates in three segments. The speed of transverse waves in the string is equal to ..... $m/s$.
