In the arrangement shown in figure (15-E6), the string has a mass of 45 g. How much time will it take for a transverse disturbance produced at the floor to reach the pulley? Take g = 10 m s−2.

002 s
The mass of the string is 4.5g =0.0045 kg.
The length of the string is 2.25m
The mass density will be,
![]()
The force on the string is,
![]()
Now the speed of the wave will be,


![]()
SO, the time taken will be,
![]()
![]()
![]()
