Mass of the string, M = 2.5 kg

Tension in the string, T = 200 N

Length of the string, l = 20 m

Mass per unit length,  μ = Ml = 2.520 = 0.125 kg/m

The velocity (v) of the transverse wave in the string is given by the relation:

v=Tμ = 2000.125 = 40 m/s

Therefore, time taken by the disturbance to reach the other end, t = lv = 2040 =
