A 12 m12\,\text{m} rope is fixed to a wall at one end. A single pulse is produced at the free end and travels toward the wall with a speed of 6.0 m ⁣/ ⁣s6.0\,\text{m}\!\big/\!\text{s}. Determine the total time interval between releasing the pulse and its return to the hand after reflecting from the wall.
