The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the wave motion equations and the given parameters. ### Step 1: Understand the wave equation The general equation for a wave moving in the positive x-direction is given by: \[ y(x, t) = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, - \( k \) is the wave number, - \( x \) is the position, - \( t \) is the time. ### Step 2: Identify the parameters from the given equation From the problem, we have the equation at \( x = 0 \): \[ y(0, t) = 0.04 \sin(600 \pi t) \] This tells us: - Amplitude \( A = 0.04 \, \text{m} \) - Angular frequency \( \omega = 600 \pi \, \text{rad/s} \) ### Step 3: Calculate the wave number \( k \) The speed of the wave \( v \) is given as \( 300 \, \text{m/s} \). The relationship between speed, angular frequency, and wave number is: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \] Rearranging gives: \[ k = \frac{\omega}{v} \] Substituting the values: \[ k = \frac{600 \pi}{300} = 2 \pi \, \text{rad/m} \] ### Step 4: Write the complete wave equation Now we can write the complete wave equation using the values of \( A \), \( \omega \), and \( k \): \[ y(x, t) = 0.04 \sin(600 \pi t - 2 \pi x) \] ### Step 5: Substitute the values for \( x \) and \( t \) We need to find the displacement at \( x = 75 \, \text{cm} = 0.75 \, \text{m} \) and \( t = 0.01 \, \text{s} \): \[ y(0.75, 0.01) = 0.04 \sin(600 \pi (0.01) - 2 \pi (0.75)) \] ### Step 6: Simplify the equation Calculating the argument of the sine function: 1. Calculate \( 600 \pi (0.01) = 6 \pi \) 2. Calculate \( 2 \pi (0.75) = 1.5 \pi \) Now substitute these values: \[ y(0.75, 0.01) = 0.04 \sin(6 \pi - 1.5 \pi) \] \[ = 0.04 \sin(4.5 \pi) \] ### Step 7: Evaluate the sine function Using the property of sine: \[ \sin(4.5 \pi) = \sin(4\pi + 0.5\pi) = \sin(0.5\pi) = 1 \] ### Step 8: Final displacement calculation Thus, we have: \[ y(0.75, 0.01) = 0.04 \cdot 1 = 0.04 \, \text{m} \] ### Conclusion The displacement of the point at \( x = 75 \, \text{cm} \) at \( t = 0.01 \, \text{s} \) is: \[ y = 0.04 \, \text{m} \] ---

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the wave motion equations and the given parameters. ### Step 1: Understand the wave equation The general equation for a wave moving in the positive x-direction is given by: \[ y(x, t) = A \sin(\omega t - kx) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, ...
