Two blocks each having a mass of 3 2 kg are connected by a wire CD and the system is suspended from the ceiling by another wire AB (figure 15-E5). The linear mass density of the wire AB is 10 g m − 1 and that of CD is 8 g m − 1 . Find the speed of a transverse wave pulse produced in AB and in CD .

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

79 m s⁻¹ and 63 m s⁻¹

The mass densities in m-k-s unit will be,

Force due to gravity on AB is,

Force due to gravity on CD is,

Hence the velocities will be,

Two blocks each having a mass of 32 kg are connected by a wire CD and the system is suspended from the ceiling by another wire AB (figure 15-E5). The linear mass density of the wire AB is 10 g m−1 and that of CD is 8 g m−1. Find the speed of a transverse wave pulse produced in AB and in CD.
