Question

A 48.0 m string of uniform density that has a mass of 0.50 kg is hanging from a tall ceiling, and a weight is tied to its lower end to produce a tension of 15.0 N. A pulse generated at the lower end travels upward toward the ceiling. The pulse passes through the midpoint of the string. (Assume the tension is measured at the bottom of the string.)

(a) What is the speed of the pulse at the midpoint if the mass of the string is ignored? (Ignore the effect of the mass of the string on the tension.)
m/s

(b) What is the speed of the pulse at the midpoint if the mass of the string is not ignored?
m/s
