    This document provides the solution to calculating the time required for a transverse wave to travel from one end of a uniform rope to the other. The rope is whirled in a horizontal circle with angular velocity ω. The solution involves treating a small segment of the rope as a particle and applying Newton's second law. This allows determining the force of tension as a function of position along the rope. Using the formula for velocity of a transverse wave, the time is calculated to be π/(√2ω).

    Answer on Question 57878, Physics, Mechanics, Relativity

    Question:

    A uniform rope of length 𝐿 and mass 𝑀 is held at one end and whirled in a horizontal
    circle with angular velocity 𝜔. You can ignore the force of gravity on the rope. Find
    the time required for a transverse wave to travel from one end of the rope to the other.

    Solution:

    Let’s consider a small segment of the rope between 𝑟 and 𝑟 + ∆𝑟. The segment has a
    length of ∆𝑟 and a mass of 𝑚 = 𝑀∆𝑟⁄𝐿. Let’s treat this segment as a particle and
    consider the forces and the Newton’s law on this segment. The inward force of tension
    from the rope to the segment is 𝑇(𝑟), and the outward force to the segment is 𝑇(𝑟 + ∆𝑟).
    The acceleration of the segment is 𝑟𝜔2 and it points toward the pivot. Let’s assume that
    the positive 𝑟 direction is outward, then the acceleration is negative, and applying the
    Second Newton’s law we get:

    𝑇(𝑟 + ∆𝑟) − 𝑇(𝑟) = −𝑚𝑟𝜔2 ,


    𝑀
    𝑇(𝑟 + ∆𝑟) − 𝑇(𝑟) = − ∆𝑟𝑟𝜔2 ,
    𝐿
    𝑇(𝑟 + ∆𝑟) − 𝑇(𝑟) 𝑀
    = − 𝑟𝜔2 .
    ∆𝑟 𝐿
    Let ∆𝑟 approach to zero, than, using the definition of derivative we get:

    𝑑𝑇 𝑀𝜔2
    =− 𝑟,
    𝑑𝑟 𝐿
    𝑀𝜔2
    𝑑𝑇 = − 𝑟𝑑𝑟,
    𝐿
    After integration we get:
    𝑇(𝑟) 𝑟
    𝑀𝜔2
    ∫ 𝑑𝑇 = − ∫ 𝑟𝑑𝑟,
    𝑇0 0 𝐿

    𝑀𝜔2 𝑟 2
    𝑇=− + 𝐶,
    𝐿 2
    here, C is an integration constant and can be determined by considering the constraint
    that the force of tension 𝑇 is zero at the tip of the rope, so 𝑇 = 0 at 𝑟 = 𝐿 and we get:

    𝑀𝜔2
    𝐶= 𝐿,
    2
    𝑀𝜔2 𝑟 2 𝑀𝜔2 𝑀𝜔2 2
    𝑇=− + 𝐿= (𝐿 − 𝑟 2 ),
    𝐿 2 2 2𝐿
    𝑀𝜔2 2
    𝑇= (𝐿 − 𝑟 2 ).
    2𝐿
    Then, we can find the velocity of the transverse wave in the rope from the formula:

    𝑇
    𝑣=√ ,
    𝜇

    here, 𝑇 is the force of tension in the rope, 𝜇 = 𝑀⁄𝐿 is the linear mass density of the
    rope.

    Substituting 𝜇 into the previous formula we can find the velocity of the transverse wave
    in the rope:

    𝑀𝜔 2 2
    𝑇 (𝐿 − 𝑟 2 ) 𝜔2 2
    𝑣=√ =√ 2𝐿 = √ (𝐿 − 𝑟 2 ),
    𝜇 𝑀 2
    𝐿

    𝑑𝑟 𝜔2 2 𝜔
    = √ (𝐿 − 𝑟 2 ) = √(𝐿2 − 𝑟 2 ),
    𝑑𝑡 2 √2

    𝑑𝑟 𝜔
    = 𝑑𝑡,
    √(𝐿2 − 𝑟 2 ) √2
    𝐿 𝑡
    𝑑𝑟 𝜔
    ∫ = ∫ 𝑑𝑡,
    0 √(𝐿2 − 𝑟 2 ) √2 0

    𝜔

    √2
    𝜋 𝜔
    = 𝑡,
    2 √2
    𝜋
    𝑡= .
    √2 ∙ 𝜔
    Answer:
    𝜋
    𝑡=
    √2 ∙ 𝜔
