Question: String 1 in FIGURE P16.47 has linear density 2.0 g/m and string 2 has linear density 4.0 g/m. A student sends pulses in both directions

String 1 in FIGURE P16.47 has linear density 2.0 g/m and string 2 has linear density 4.0 g/m.
A student sends pulses in both directions by quickly pulling up on the knot, then releasing it.
What should the string lengths L1and L2be if the pulses are to reach the ends of the strings simultaneously?
