A string of length L consists of two sections: The left half has mass per unit length = 0/2, whereas the right half has a mass per unit length = 3 = 30/2. Tension in the string is T0. Notice from the data given that this string has the same total mass as a uniform string of length L and of mass per unit length 0. (a) Find the speeds v and v at which transverse wave pulses travel in the two sections. Express the speeds in terms of T0 and 0, and also as multiples of the speed v0 = (T0/0)1/2. (b) Find the time required for a pulse to travel from one end of the string to the other. Give your result as a multiple of t0 = L/v0 .
