A uniform rope of length $L$ and mass $m_1$ hangs vertically from a rigid support. A block of mass $m_2$ is attached to the free end of the rope. A transverse pulse of wavelength $\lambda _1$, is produced at the lower end of the rope. The wave length of the pulse when it reaches the top of the rope is $\lambda _2$. The ratio $\lambda _2\,/\,\lambda _1$ is 
  • A$\sqrt {\frac{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}{{{m_2}}}} $
  • B$\;\sqrt {\frac{{{m_2}}}{{{m_1}}}} $
  • C$\;\sqrt {\frac{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}{{{m_1}}}} $
  • D$\;\sqrt {\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{m_2}}}} $

    One insulated conductor from a household extension cord has a mass per unit length of $μ.$ A section of this conductor is held under tension between two clamps. A subsection is located in a magnetic field of magnitude $B$ directed perpendicular to the  length of the cord. When the cord carries an $AC$ current of $"i"$ at a frequency of $f,$ it  vibrates in resonance in its simplest standing-wave vibration state. Determine the  relationship that must be satisfied between the separation $d$ of the clamps and the tension $T$ in the cord.
