Question
Write the formula for the speed of transverse waves in a stretched string and explain the symbols used in it
✓
Answer
If both the end of a string are tied and when the string is pulled and released from the middle in a perpendicular direction, then transverse progressive waves start moving toward its ends.
Speed of these waves $\text v =\sqrt{\frac{ T }{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{ Mg }{\pi r^2 d}}$
Speed of these waves $\text v =\sqrt{\frac{ T }{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{ Mg }{\pi r^2 d}}$

A block of mass $m=1 kg$, moving on a horizontal surface with speed $V_l=2 m s ^{-1}$ enters a rough patch ranging from $x=0.10 m$ to $x=2.01 m$. The retarding force $F_r$ on the block in this range is inversely proportional to $x$ over this range,
$ F_r=\frac{-k}{x} \text { for } 0.1<x<2.01 m $ $=0$ for $x<0.1 m$ and $x>2.01 m$
where $k=0.5 J$. What is the final kinetic energy and speed $v_f$ of the block as it crosses this patch?
