As shown in the figure, a block of mass $9 \, kg$ is hung by a wire of area of cross-section $1 \, mm^2$ in a lift going up with an acceleration of $2 \, ms^{-2}$. If the speed of the transverse wave on the wire is $120 \, ms^{-1}$, the density of the material of the wire is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \, ms^{-2}$)

  • A
    $1.5 \, g \, cm^{-3}$
  • B

If the initial tension on a stretched string is doubled,then the ratio of the initial and final speeds of a transverse wave along the string is:

$A$ rope of length $L$ and uniform linear density is hanging from the ceiling. $A$ transverse wave pulse,generated close to the free end of the rope,travels upwards through the rope. Select the correct option.

$A$ string is producing transverse vibration whose equation is $y = 0.021 \sin(x + 30t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in meters and $t$ is in seconds. If the linear density of the string is $1.3 \times 10^{-4} \ kg/m$,then the tension in the string in $N$ will be:

$Assertion :$ Two waves moving in a uniform string having uniform tension cannot have different velocities.
$Reason :$ Elastic and inertial properties of string are same for all waves in same string. Moreover,the speed of a wave in a string depends on its elastic and inertial properties only.

$A$ 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:
