Question
Is earth an inertial frame of reference?
✓

Answer

Since earth rotates about its own axis and also revolve round the sun, there will be acceleration associated. So earth cannot be taken as an inertial frame of reference (strictly).

One end of a long string of linear mass density $8.0 \times 10 kg . m ^{-1}$ is connected to an electrically operated tunning fork of frequency 256 Hz . The other end of the string is passed over a stationary pulley and tied to the scale of a balance on which 90 kg weight are hanging. The pulley end absorb all the incoming energy due 90 which the amplitude of the waves reflected from this end is negligible. At $t=0$ the transverse displacement at the left end of the string at $x=0$ is zero $(y=0)$ and it is moving along the positive direction. The amplitude of the wave is 5.0 cm write the transverse displacement $y$ describe this wave on the string as a function of $X$ and $t$.
