The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We have the following information: - Speed of wave propagation, \( v = 300 \, \text{m/s} \) - Equation of motion at \( x = 0 \): \( y = 0.04 \sin(600 \pi t) \) - We need to find the displacement at \( x = 75 \, \text{cm} \) (which is \( 0.75 \, \text{m} \)) at \( t = 0.01 \, \text{s} \). ### Step 2: Identify the angular frequency (\( \omega \)) From the equation \( y = 0.04 \sin(600 \pi t) \), we can identify: - \( \omega = 600 \pi \, \text{rad/s} \) ### Step 3: Calculate the wave number (\( k \)) Using the relationship between wave speed (\( v \)), angular frequency (\( \omega \)), and wave number (\( k \)): \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \implies k = \frac{\omega}{v} \] Substituting the values: \[ k = \frac{600 \pi}{300} = 2 \pi \, \text{rad/m} \] ### Step 4: Write the general wave equation Since the wave is traveling in the positive x-direction, the equation can be written as: \[ y(x, t) = 0.04 \sin(600 \pi t - kx) \] Substituting \( k \): \[ y(x, t) = 0.04 \sin(600 \pi t - 2 \pi x) \] ### Step 5: Substitute the values of \( x \) and \( t \) We need to find \( y \) at \( x = 0.75 \, \text{m} \) and \( t = 0.01 \, \text{s} \): \[ y(0.75, 0.01) = 0.04 \sin(600 \pi (0.01) - 2 \pi (0.75)) \] ### Step 6: Calculate the arguments of the sine function Calculating \( 600 \pi (0.01) \): \[ 600 \pi (0.01) = 6 \pi \] Calculating \( 2 \pi (0.75) \): \[ 2 \pi (0.75) = 1.5 \pi \] Now substituting these values: \[ y(0.75, 0.01) = 0.04 \sin(6 \pi - 1.5 \pi) = 0.04 \sin(4.5 \pi) \] ### Step 7: Simplify the sine function Since \( 4.5 \pi \) can be simplified: \[ 4.5 \pi = 4 \pi + 0.5 \pi \] Thus, \( \sin(4.5 \pi) = \sin(0.5 \pi) = 1 \). ### Step 8: Calculate the final displacement Substituting back into the equation: \[ y(0.75, 0.01) = 0.04 \times 1 = 0.04 \, \text{m} \] ### Final Answer The displacement of the point at \( x = 75 \, \text{cm} \) at \( t = 0.01 \, \text{s} \) is \( 0.04 \, \text{m} \). ---
