The average power transmitted through a ...

The average power transmitted through a given point on a string supporting a sine wave is 0.20 W when the amplitude of the wave is 2.0 mm. What power will be transmitted through this point if the amplitude is increased to 3.0 mm.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Other things remaining the same the power transmitted is proportioN/Al to the square of the amplitude
Thus, `P_2/P_1=A_2^2/A_1^2`
or, `P_2/(0.20W)=9/4=2.25`
or, `P_2=2.25xx0.2W=0.45W`

One end of a long string of linear mass density 8.0 xx 10^(-3) kg m^(-1) is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 256Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of 90kg. 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 describes the wave on the string.
