MCQ
A wire of variable mass per unit length $\mu = \mu _0x$ , is hanging from the ceiling as shown in figure. The length of wire is $l_0$ . A small transverse disturbance is produced at its lower end. Find the time after which the disturbance will reach to the other ends
  • $\sqrt {\frac{{8\,{l_0}}}{g}} $
  • B
    $\sqrt {\frac{{4\,{l_0}}}{g}} $
  • C
    $\sqrt {\frac{{2\,{l_0}}}{g}} $
  • D
    None

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\sqrt {\frac{{8\,{l_0}}}{g}} $
a
${\rm{m}} = \int_0^x {{\mu _0}} {\rm{xdx}} = \frac{{{\mu _0}{{\rm{x}}^2}}}{2}$

$\mathrm{v}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{x}^{2} \mathrm{g}}{2. \mu_{0} \mathrm{x}}}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{x g}{2}}$

$a=\frac{v d v}{d x}=\sqrt{\frac{x g}{2}} \sqrt{\frac{g}{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}=\frac{g}{4} \,m / s^{2}$

${l_0} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{{\rm{g}}}{4}{{\rm{t}}^2} \Rightarrow {\rm{t}} = \sqrt {\frac{{8{l_0}}}{{\rm{g}}}} $
