- Review. A block of mass M hangs from a rubber cord. The block is supported so that the cord is not stretched. The unstretched length of the cord is L0, and its mass is m, much less than M. The spring constant for the cord is k. The block is released and stops momentarily at the lowest point. (a) Determine the tension in the string when the block is at this lowest point. (b) What is the length of the cord in this stretched position? (c) If the block is held in this lowest position, find the speed of a transverse wave in the cord.arrow_forwardA restaurant manager has decorated his retro diner by hanging (scratched) vinyl LP records from thin wires.
