A uniform rope of length 20 m and mass 8 kg hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass 2 kg is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength 0.06 m is produced at the lower end of the rope. What is the wavelength of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope?

A 4.0 kg block is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator through a string having a linear mass density of 1.6 × 103 kg/m. Find (a) speed (with respect to the string) with which a wave pulse can proceed on the string if the elevator accelerates up at the rate of 6 m/s2. (b) In part (a) at some instant speed of lift is 40 m/s in upward direction, then speed of the wave pulse with respect to ground at that instant is (Take g = 10 m/s2)

A 6.00 m segment of a long string has a mass of 180 g. A high-speed photograph shows that the segment contains four complete cycles of a wave. The string is vibrating sinusoidally with a frequency of 50.0 Hz and a peak-to-valley displacement of 15.0 cm. (The “peak-to-valley” displacement is the vertical distance from the farthest positive displacement to the farthest negative displacement.) (a) Write the function that describes this wave traveling in the positive x direction. (b) Determine the average power being supplied to the string.
