Workers attach a 28.0 kg mass to one end of a 27.0 m long cable and secure the other end to the top of a stationary crane, suspending the mass in midair. If the cable has mass of 24.0 kg, determine the speed of transverse waves at the middle and the bottom end of the cable. (Hint: Don't neglect the cable's mass. Because of it, the tension increases from a minimum value at the bottom of the cable to a maximum value at the top. The acceleration of gravity is g = 9.80 m/s².) HINT (a) speed (in m/s) at the middle of the cable m/s (b) speed (in m/s) at the bottom of the cable m/s

Review. A sphere of mass M is supported by a string that passes over a pulley at the end of a horizontal rod of length L (Fig. P14.25). The string makes an angle θ with the rod. The fundamental frequency of standing waves in the portion of the string above the rod is f. Find the mass of the portion of the string above the rod. Figure P14.25 Problems 25 and 26.
A string is fixed at both end. The mass of the string is 0.0090 kg and the length is 3.00 m. The string is under a tension of 200.00 N. The string is driven by a variable frequency source to produce standing waves on the string. Find the wavelengths and frequency of the first four modes of standing waves.

As in Figure P18.16, a simple harmonic oscillator is attached to a rope of linear mass density 5.4 102 kg/m, creating a standing transverse wave.

Consider what is shown below. A 20.00-kg mass rests on a frictionless ramp inclined at 45° . A string with a linear mass density of =0.025 kg/m is attached to the 20.00-kg mass. The string passes over a frictionless pulley of negligible mass and is attached to a hanging mass (m). The system is in static equilibrium. A wave is induced on the string and travels up the ramp.
