One end of a long string of linear mass ...

One end of a long string of linear mass dnesity `8.0xx10^(-3)kgm^(-1)` is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of 90 kg. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At `t=0` the left end (fork end) of the string `x=0` has zero transverse displacement `(y=0)` and is moving along positive y-direction. The amplitude of the wave is 5.0 cm. Write down the transverse displacement y as function of x and t that describest the wave on the string.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`y = 0.005 sin (omegat +-kx);` here `omega`
`= 1.61 xx 10^(3) s^(-1) , k = 4.84 m^(-1)`
`x` and `y` are in `m`.
