    One end of a long string of linear mass density 8.0 xx 10^(-3) kg m^(-1) is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 256Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of 90kg. 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 describes the wave on the string.

    The gas phase decomposition of dimethyl ether follows first order kinetics. CH_3-O_CH_3(g)rarrCH_4(g)+CO(g)+H_2O(g) The reaction is carried out in a constant volume container at 500^@C , and has a half of life of 14.5 minutes. Initially, only dimethyl ether is present at a pressure of 0.40 atm. Assuming ideal gas behavior, the total pressure of the system after 12 minutes will be.
