Q.

Two blocks of masses 40 kg and 20 kg are connected by a wire which has a linear mass density of 1  g/m . These blocks are being pulled across horizontal frictionless floor by a horizontal force F that is applied to 20 kg block. A transverse wave travels on the wire between the blocks with a speed of 400m/s (relative to the wire). The mass of the wire is negligible compared to the mass of the blocks, the magnitude of F is
