To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and apply the relevant physics concepts. ### Step 1: Understand the motion of the particle The particle takes `5.0 s` to move from its mean position to the extreme position. This represents one-fourth of the time period of the wave. ### Step 2: Calculate the time period (T) Since the time taken to go from the mean position to the extreme position is `5.0 s`, we can express this as: \[ ...
