1. A transverse wave travels on a taut string stretched along the x-axis. The linear mass density of the string
varies slowly with x as  = 0 + x where 0 and  are positive constants. As a result, both the amplitude and
the wavelength become functions of x. As the wave travels down the string, its energy content over one
wavelength, averaged over a time period is independent of x. The graph of the amplitude A(x) versus x should
be like

Experiments show that the number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) per unit volume inside a nucleus is
fairly constant near its center, and gradually decrease in the outer region. The near constant of nucleon
density results from the fact that each nucleon in a nucleus interacts only with a small number of nucleons
in its surrounding through attractive nuclear force. The nucleon density (r) as a function of the distance r
from the center of the nucleus is approximately given by

the first in which the current flows into the mesh, and the second in which it flows out of the mesh. The
steady current flowing in the segment PQ is equal to :
