One side of the wave changes speed before the other side, causing the wave to move
Answer: To increase the rigidity of the system you could hold the ruler at its midpoint so that the part of the ruler that oscillates is half as long as in the original experiment.
Explanation:
When a rule is displaced from its vertical position, it oscillates back and forth because of the restoring force opposing the displacement. That is, when the rule is on the left there is a force to the right.
By holding a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other a force is generated in the opposite direction which is known as the restoring force. The restoring force causes the ruler to move back toward its stable equilibrium position, where the net force on it is zero. The momentum gained causes the ruler to move to the right leading to opposite deformation. This moves the ruler again to the left. The whole process is repeated until dissipative forces reduce the motion causing the ruler to come to rest.
The relationship between restoring force and displacement was described by Hooke's law. This states that displacement or deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force applied.
F= -kx, where,
F= restoring force
x= displacement or deformation
k= constant related to the rigidity of the system.
Therefore, the larger the force constant, the greater the restoring force, and the stiffer the system.

Answer:
The specific heat capacity of iridium = 0.130 J/g°C
Explanation:
Assuming no heat losses to the environment and to the calorimeter,
Heat lost by the iridium sample = Heat gained by water
Heat lost by the iridium sample = mC ΔT
m = mass of iridium = 23.9 g
C = specific heat capacity of the iridium = ?
ΔT = change in temperature of the iridium = 89.7 - 22.6 = 67.1°C
Heat lost by the iridium sample = (23.9)(C)(67.1) = (1603.69 C) J
Heat gained by water = mC ΔT
m = mass of water = 20.0 g
C = 4.18 J/g°C
ΔT = 22.6 - 20.1 = 2.5°C
Heat gained by water = 20 × 4.18 × 2.5 = 209 J
Heat lost by the iridium sample = Heat gained by water
1603.69C = 209
C = (209/1603.69) = 0.130 J/g°C
The spring should have a greater displacement .
Greater spring constant = the more difficult it is to stretch a spring , due to stiffness.
