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

One end of a string of linear mass density `8.0 xx 10^(-3) kgm^(-1)` is connected to an electrically driventuning fork of frequency `256 Hz`. The other end passes over a pulley end absorbs all the incomin 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 mm`. Write down the transverse displacement `y` as funcation of `x` and `t` that describes 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`.

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.
