Linear density of a string of is 1.3 x 10-4 kg/m and wave equation is y = 0.021 sin (x + 30t ), Find, the tension in the string where, x in metre and t in second

  • 0.12 N

  • 0.21 N

  • 1.2 N

  • 0.012 N


A.

0.12 N

Mass per unit length m = 1.3 × 10-4 kg/m

                               y = 0.021 sin (x + 30t)

Comparing with y = a sin ωt + 2π xλ

   a = 0.021,  ω = 30

    2πn = 30

⇒    n = 302π

We know that 

     2πλ = 1

∴     λ = 2π

Frequency,

       n = 1λTm

      302π = 12πT1.3 ×10-4

       T = 1.3 × 10-4 × 900

        T = 0.117 

        T = 0.12 N

  • c - v

  • c

  • c + v

  • 1 - v2c2

A 4 kg block is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator through a spring having a linear mass density of 19.2 x 10-3 kg m-3 . Find the speed with respect to spring with which a wave pulse can proceed on the spring if the elevator accelerates up at the rate of 2.0 ms-2.
Take g = 10 ms-2

  • 30 m/s

  • 42 m/s

  • 46 m/s

  • 50 m/s

  • 4.5 x 104 Hz, 5.4 x 104 Hz

  • 4.67 x 103 Hz, 4.34 x 104 Hz


177.

A wave packet with center frequency ω is propagating in dispersive medium with phase velocity of 1.5 x 103 m/s. When the frequency ω is increased by 2%, the phase velocity is found to decrease by 3 %. What is group velocity of the wave packet?

  • 0.25 × 103 m/s

  • 1.0 × 103 m/s

  • 0.6 × 103 m/s

  • 0.75 × 103 m/s


178.
