Homework Statement
A pulse takes 0.1s to travel the length of a string. The tension in the string is provided by passing the string over a pulley to a weight which has 100 times the mass of the string.
What is the length (L) of the string?
What is the equation of the third normal mode.
Homework Equations
v=√(F/u) u=m/L
The Attempt at a Solution
We have L/t = √(100.m.g/(m/L) where g = surface gravity
So 100L^2 = 100gL
so L= magnitude(g) = 9.8 m
This type of question was not covered directly in our notes and I am unsure if my working is correct.
Thanks for any help.
