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 $\,ms^{-1}$)

$A$ wire of length $50 \ cm$ and weighing $10 \ g$ is attached to a spring at one end and to a fixed wall at the other end. The spring has a spring constant of $50 \ N/m$ and is stretched by $1 \ cm$. If a wave pulse is produced on the string near the wall, then how much time will it take to reach the spring (in $s$)?
