| + | The speeds of propagation of the waveform to the left and the right are $c_1=\sqrt{F_\parallel/\rho_1}$ and $c_2=\sqrt{F_\parallel/\rho_2}$, respectively. Consequently, the mass of the portion of the rope that has transverse momentum increases linearly with time, and its transverse speed $u$ must be constant, because the transverse force is constant.
