Question: A heavy box ( mass 8 0 kg ) is connected to a big spool of rope ( a solid cylinder with radius 0 .

A heavy box (mass 80 kg ) is connected to a big spool of rope (a solid cylinder with radius 0.45 m and mass 90 kg ) by a thin rope with a linear density of 0.2 kg/m , as shown in (Figure 1). The box is released from rest and allowed to fall. As the box falls, a wave travels up the rope from the box to the spool. What is the speed of that wave?
