16.25

You can find the velocity of a wave at any point along the string if you know the tension and linear density. At any point along the string, the tension is provided only by the rope below that point - you can't push on a rope.

Finding the time is handled just like the last problem in HW10 - t is the integral of dy/v(y), with the limits being the two ends of the rope.
