$A$ wire of linear mass density $\mu = 9.8 \times 10^{-3} \, kg \, m^{-1}$ passes over a frictionless light pulley fixed on the top of a frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Masses $m$ and $M$ are tied at the two ends of the wire such that $m$ rests on the plane and $M$ hangs freely vertically downwards. The entire system is in equilibrium and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of $100 \, m \, s^{-1}$. Choose the correct option for $m$ in $kg$.

Following are expressions for four plane simple harmonic waves:
$(i) \, y_1 = A \cos 2\pi \left( n_1 t + \frac{x}{\lambda_1} \right)$
$(ii) \, y_2 = A \cos 2\pi \left( n_1 t + \frac{x}{\lambda_1} + \frac{1}{2} \right)$
