A pulse is propagating on a long stretched string along its length taken as positive x-axis. Shape of the string at t = 0 is given by y = sqrt(a^2 - x^2) when |x| lt= a = 0 when |x| gt= a . What is the general equation of pulse after some time 't' , if it is travelling along positive x-direction with speed V?

A transverse sine wave of amplitude 10 cm and wavelength 200 cm travels from left to right along a long horizontal stretched, string with a speed of 100 cm/s. Take the origin at left end of the string. At time t = 0 the left end of the string is at the origin and is moving downward. Then the equation of the wave will be ( in CGS system )
