A rope of uniform mass per unit length \(\mu\) is suspended from the ceiling, hanging under its own weight. If a small transverse pulse is formed at its lower end \(A\), it travels upward with a local speed \(v=\sqrt {\dfrac{\text{tension}}{\text{mass/length}}}\).
                         
The speed of the pulse is:
1. maximum at \(A,\) minimum at \(O\)
2. minimum at \(A,\) maximum at \(O\)
3. uniform
4. minimum at \(A\) and \(O,\) maximum in the middle
