A heavy uniform rope \(PQ\) is suspended from the ceiling. The lowest end of the rope is given a sharp transverse "shake" (or vibration) so as to cause a pulse. This pulse travels upward. As it travels upward, its speed:
| 1. | increases | 2. | decreases |
| 3. | first increases and then decreases | 4. | remains constant |
