The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given wave equation The wave equation is given as: \[ Y(mn) = 8 \sin(5x - 4t) \] ### Step 2: Compare with the standard wave equation The standard form of a wave equation is: \[ Y(x, t) = A \sin(kx - \omega t) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( k \) is the wave number, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency. From the given equation, we can identify: - Amplitude \( A = 8 \) - Wave number \( k = 5 \, \text{m}^{-1} \) - Angular frequency \( \omega = 4 \, \text{s}^{-1} \) ### Step 3: Calculate the wave velocity The wave velocity \( v \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \] Substituting the values: \[ v = \frac{4 \, \text{s}^{-1}}{5 \, \text{m}^{-1}} = 0.8 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the displacement at a specific point and time We need to find the displacement \( Y \) at \( t = 0 \) and \( x = 30 \, \text{m} \): \[ Y = 8 \sin(5(30) - 4(0)) \] \[ Y = 8 \sin(150) \] ### Step 5: Evaluate \( \sin(150) \) We know that: \[ \sin(150^\circ) = \sin(180^\circ - 30^\circ) = \sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 6: Substitute back to find \( Y \) Now substituting this back: \[ Y = 8 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 4 \, \text{m} \] ### Conclusion 1. The wave velocity is \( 0.8 \, \text{m/s} \). 2. The displacement at \( t = 0 \) and \( x = 30 \, \text{m} \) is \( 4 \, \text{m} \). ### Final Answers: - Velocity: \( 0.8 \, \text{m/s} \) - Displacement: \( 4 \, \text{m} \) ---
