In the figure shown a mass $1\  kg$ is connected to a string of mass per unit length $1.2\  gm/m$ . Length of string is $1\  m$ and its other end is connected to the top of a ceiling which is accelerating up with an acceleration $2\  m/s^2$ . A transverse pulse is produced at the lowest point of string. Time taken by pulse to reach the top of string is .... $s$

$\mathrm{v}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{Mg}_{\mathrm{eff}}}{\mu}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{(1)(\mathrm{g}+\mathrm{a})}{\mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{12}{1.2 \times 10^{-3}}}$

$=100 \mathrm{\,m} / \mathrm{s}$

${\rm{t}} = \frac{l}{{\rm{v}}} = \frac{1}{{100}} = 0.01\,{\rm{s}}$
