The drawing shows a frictionless incline and pulley. The two blocks are connected by a wire (mass per unit length, ) and remain stationary. A transverse wave on the wire has a speed of 60m/s relative to it. Neglect the weight of the wire relative to the tension in the wire. If the mass be increased by 1%, the speed (in m/s) of the transverse wave relative to string will be
where is velocity of the wave, T is tension and is the mass for unit length of the string.
Now, after increasing value of , tension in string also increases.
New mass of 2nd block :
Let say new value of tension is
Applying Newton’s second law for both blocks,
and
Now,
Therefore, the correct answer is 60.20
