Solved: (a) A uniform rope of mass m and length L is

Chapter 16, Problem 16.158

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) A uniform rope of mass m and length L is hanging straight down from the ceiling. A small-amplitude transverse wave is sent up the rope from the bottom end. Derive an expression that gives the speed v of the wave on the rope in terms of the distance y above the bottom end of the rope and the magnitude g of the acceleration due to gravity. (b) Use the expression that you have derived to calculate the speeds at distances of 0.50 m and 2.0 m above the bottom end of the rope.
