A massive but uniform rope of length L is suspended from a ceiling.
(a) The velocity of a transverse wave traveling on the string as a function of the distance from the lower end is gxa.

(b) If the rope is given a sudden sideways jerk at the bottom, the timeit will take for the pulse to reach the ceiling is bLg.

(c) A particle is dropped from the ceiling at that instant the bottom end is given the jerk, the pulse will meet the particle at Lc.

Then the value of a+b+c is:

Two long strings A and B, each having linear mass density 1.2×10-2 kg m-1, are stretched by different tensions 4.8 N and 7.5 N respectively and are kept parallel to each other with their left ends at x=0. Wave pulses are produced on the strings at the left ends at t=0 on string A and at t=20 ms on string B. When and where will the pulse on B overtake that on A?
