A conveyor belt is used to move sand from one place to another in a factory. The conveyor is tilted at an angle of 18° above the
horizontal and the sand is moved without slipping at the rate of 2 m/s. The sand is collected in a big drum 5 m below the end of the conveyor belt. Determine the horizontal distance between the end of the conveyor belt and the middle of the collecting drum.

Answer:
C)You should use the thin cooking twine.
Explanation:
A)You can choose either because they are the same length and will produce the same wave speed.
B)You should use the heavy rope.
C)You should use the thin cooking twine.
The speed of wave in a string is given by the following formula:
|| =
Where || = speed of wave,
= tension in the string, and μ = mass per length of the string.
<em>Even though the two strings have the same length, the μ (mass/length) for the heavy rope will be more than the that of a thin rope. Consequently, the </em><em>:μ for the thin rope will be higher than that of the heavy rope and as such, gives a bigger |</em>
<em>|. </em>
Therefore, the thin rope should be used in order to get a faster wave speed in the telephone.
The correct option is C.
