Chapter 16, Problem 21P
ILW A 100 g wire is held under a tension of 250 N with one end at x = 0 and the other at x = 10.0 m. At time t = 0, pulse 1 is sent along the wire from the end at x = 10.0 m. At time t = 30.0 ms, pulse 2 is sent along the wire from the end at x = 0. At what position x do the pulses begin to meet?

The length of the rope is 2.3 m for the first section and 2.4 m for the second, and the second rope is rigidly fixed to a wall. Two pulses will eventually be detected at the origin: the pulse that was reflected from the medium discontinuity and the pulse that was originally transmitted, which hits the wall and is reflected back and transmitted through the first rope.
