The correct options are
A The acceleration of the wave on the string will be
3g/4 every where.
C The time taken by a pulse to reach from bottom to top will be
√8L/3g.The acceleration of string in ground frame will be
3g. Now, draw fbd of piece of string that is
x units long from the bottom. Let tension at this distance be
T.
T−(∫x0λxLdx)g=(∫x0λxLdx)(2g)
T=3λx22Lg
Now, speed of wave in a string is,
v=√Tμ=
⎷3λx22LgλxL=√32gx
Also, a=dvdt=vdvdx=3g4
This is the acceleration of wave relative to the string.
Now, by L=ut+12at2, we get t=√8L3g.
