Explanation In this problem, the wave is traveling on stretched strings that are joined together with a knot. Strings are having different linear densities given in the problem. As wave speed in a string depends upon tension ( T ) in the string as well as linear density ( µ ) of the string with relation v = T µ . Tension inthe two strings is equal as they are joined together but the speeds of the pulse in both the strings are different so equating the equal tension and using the formulas for speed we will make an equation comparing the length of the string to the linear densities of the string and solving that we can able to get the lengths of the two strings. Given: The total length of the string, ( L 1 + L 2 ) = 4.0 m The linear density of string 1, ( µ 1 ) = 2.0 g/m The linear density of string 2, ( µ 2 ) = 4.0 g/m Formula Used: Wave speed (v) in the string is given by v = L t = T µ Lis the length of the string t is the time of the pulses to reach the end T is the tension in the string μ is the linear density of the string Calculation: Speed of the string 1, v 1 = T 1 µ 1 Speed of the string 2, v 2 = T 2 µ 2 As Tension is equal, so, T 1 = T 2 = T So, v 1

Shock Waves

Shock waves are common in continuum mechanics, and their dominance is attributable to the fact that they are stronger (or even less) compressible. Substantial perturbations propagated as sudden dynamic changes of a compressible medium supersonically. Sho…
