A string of mass M and length L hangs freely from a fixed point. Then the velocity of transverse waves along the string at a distance x from the free end is-
 
A- root gL
B- root gx
C- gL
D- gx
 
Please giv the answer alongwith the explanation.

I think it should be (B). by applying the formula v = [ ]T/
where  T = mgx/l
mu = m/l
putting the values...

I also feel answer is B

let the mass/unit length = =M/L

v = [2] T/ = = [2]gx/ [2] gx
