A 1.88-m long rope has a mass of 0.139 kg. The tension is 55.4 N. An oscillator at one end sends a harmonic wave with an amplitude of 1.09 cm down the rope. The other end of the rope is terminated so all of the energy of the wave is absorbed and none is reflected. What is the frequency of the oscillator if the power transmitted is 118 W?

The auditory canal of the outer ear acts as a closed end resonator which has a natural frequency of around 3500 Hz. This canal serves to amplify sounds with frequencies around this value, thus making us more sensitive to such frequencies. If the speed of waves inside the canal is 350 m/s, then what is the estimated length of the canal?
The density of copper is 8.9x10^3kg/m^3 and the density of gold is 1.9x10^4kg/m^3. When two wires of equal length, one made from copper and the other from gold, are held under the same tension, the wave speed in the gold wire is found to be half that of the copper wire. What is the ratio of the diameters of the two wires?
A phone cord is 4.89 m long. The cord has a mass of 0.212 kg. A transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the taut cord. That pulse makes four round trips (down and back) along the cord in 0.666 s. What is the tension in the cord? Hint: Four round trips is a total distance of eight lengths of the cord.

Two straight metal wires connected to each other end-to-end. The first wire is made of magnesium and has a length of 13 m. The other wire is made of nickel and its length is 20 m.

An astronaut on a distant planet wants to measure the acceleration due to gravity there by timing pulses (waves) travelling along a wire fixed at each end and with a mass hanging from it (i.e. hanging mass is causing a tension in the wire). She has measured the length and mass of the wire to be 1.57 metres and 4.38 grams. The mass hanging from the wire is 3.5 kgs. If the pulse takes 36.2 milliseconds to travel the full length of the wire, calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the planet without using any astronomical data like the mass of the planet etc. (Units expected m/s/s [i.e. give your numerical answer and then space and then m/s/s])
