Answer

It takes $~~4.3~s~~$ to reach the end of the string.

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the magnitude of the linear acceleration is $~~0.13~m/s^2$ We can find the time it takes to reach the end of the string: $y = \frac{1}{2}at^2$ $t = \sqrt{\frac{2y}{a}}$ $t = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(120~cm)}{13~cm/s^2}}$ $t = 4.3~s$ It takes $~~4.3~s~~$ to reach the end of the string.
