A travelling wave is produced on a long horizontal string by vibrating an end up and down sinusoidally. The amplitude of vibration is 1.0cm and the displacement becomes zero 200 times per second. The linear mass denstiy of the string is 0.10 kg m^(-1) and it is kept under a tension of 90 N. (a) Find the speed and the wavelength of the wave. (b) Assume that the wave moves in the positeve x-directin and at t = 0 the end x= 0 is at its positive extreme position. Write the wave equation. (c ) Find the velocity and acceleration of the particle at x = 50 cm at time t = 10ms.
