Suppose you create a pulse by moving the free end of a taut string up and down once with your hand beginning at t = 0. The string is attached at its other end to a distant wall. The pulse reaches the wall at time t. Which of the following actions, taken by itself, decreases the time interval required for the pulse to reach the wall? More than one choice may be correct. (a) moving your hand more quickly, but still only up and down once by the same amount (b) moving your hand more slowly, but still only up and down once by the same amount (c) moving your hand a greater distance up and down in the same amount of time (d) moving your hand a lesser distance up and down in the same amount of time (e) using a heavier string of the same length and under the same tension (f) using a lighter string of the same length and under the same tension (g) using a string of the same linear mass density but under decreased tension (h) using a string of the same linear mass density but under increased tension Speed of a wave on

- A stretched string fixed at each end has a mass of 40 g and a length of 6 m. The tension in the string is 43 N. What is the vibration frequency for the third harmonic? o 20.08 Hz o 53.75 Hz o 6.69 Hz o 13.39 Hzarrow_forwardA helicopter accelerates upward with a cable of mass 6.6 kg and length 15.5 m attached to a mass of 150 kg hanging vertically below it. If a transverse pulse initiated by wobbling of the mass takes 0.231 seconds to travel the length of the cable, what is the upward acceleration of the helicopter in m/s?? Since the mass of the cable is small compared to the hanging mass, make the approximation that the tension is uniform. Use g = 9.8 m/s2.arrow_forwardE16P9arrow_forward
- 66. A string of length L consists of two sections. The left half has mass per unit length u= µ, /2, while the right has a mass per unit length µ' = 3µ = 3µ, 12µ. 0. Tension in the string is T. Notice from the data given that this string has the same total mass as a uniform string of length L and mass per unit length u. (a) Find the speeds v and v' at which transverse pulses travel in the two sections. Express the speeds in terms of T, and µ, and also as multiples of the speed v, = (T,I H)"². (b) Find the time interval required for a pulse to travel from one end of the string to the other. Give your result as a multiple of At = L/v,.arrow_forwardHarmonic, sinusiodal wave propagates through a string with speed v and frequency f.
