$A$ wire of variable mass per unit length $\mu = \mu_0 x$ is hanging from the ceiling as shown in the figure. The length of the wire is $l_0$. $A$ small transverse disturbance is produced at its lower end. Find the time after which the disturbance will reach the other end.

$A$ transverse wave is travelling with velocity $V$ through a metal wire of length $L$ and density $\rho$. The tensile stress in the wire is

The equation of a simple harmonic wave produced in a string under a tension of $0.4 \,N$ is given by $y=4 \sin (3x+60t) \,m$. The mass per unit length of the string is:

$A$ string of mass $0.1 \, kg$ is under a tension $1.6 \, N$. The length of the string is $1 \, m$. $A$ transverse wave starts from one end of the string. The time taken by the wave to reach the other end is (in $s$.)

Consider a system of three connected strings,$S_1, S_2$ and $S_3$ with uniform linear mass densities $\mu \text{ kg/m}$,$4\mu \text{ kg/m}$ and $16\mu \text{ kg/m}$,respectively,as shown in the figure. $S_1$ and $S_2$ are connected at the point $P$,whereas $S_2$ and $S_3$ are connected at the point $Q$,and the other end of $S_3$ is connected to a wall. $A$ wave generator $O$ is connected to the free end of $S_1$. The wave from the generator is represented by $y = y_0 \cos(\omega t - kx) \text{ cm}$,where $y_0, \omega$ and $k$ are constants of appropriate dimensions. Which of the following statements is/are correct:
$(A)$ When the wave reflects from $P$ for the first time,the reflected wave is represented by $y = \alpha_1 y_0 \cos(\omega t + kx + \pi) \text{ cm}$,where $\alpha_1$ is a positive constant.
$(B)$ When the wave transmits through $P$ for the first time,the transmitted wave is represented by $y = \alpha_2 y_0 \cos(\omega t - kx) \text{ cm}$,where $\alpha_2$ is a positive constant.
$(C)$ When the wave reflects from $Q$ for the first time,the reflected wave is represented by $y = \alpha_3 y_0 \cos(\omega t - kx + \pi) \text{ cm}$,where $\alpha_3$ is a positive constant.
$(D)$ When the wave transmits through $Q$ for the first time,the transmitted wave is represented by $y = \alpha_4 y_0 \cos(\omega t - 4kx) \text{ cm}$,where $\alpha_4$ is a positive constant.

$A$ uniform thin rope of length $12 \, m$ and mass $6 \, kg$ hangs vertically from a rigid support and a block of mass $2 \, kg$ is attached to its free end. $A$ transverse short wavetrain of wavelength $6 \, cm$ is produced at the lower end of the rope. What is the wavelength of the wavetrain (in $cm$) when it reaches the top of the rope?
