Question

A wave with an amplitude of 9.3 mm is traveling along a string whose linear mass density is 230 g/m and whose tension is 65 N. If the frequency of the wave is 60 Hz, at what rate does it transfer energy?

Answer 1

The rate of transfer of energy is equal to 23.76W or 23.76J/s as may be required both forms are correct. The physical quantities needed to calculate the rate of energy transfer are the linear mass density or mass per unit length, tension force, amplitude, angular frequency( which is equal to 2pi •f )

Step-by-step explanation:

The required quantity is the average power or average rate of energy transfer which differs from the maximum or instantaneous rate of energy transfer. The calculation steps to the answer above can be found in the attachment below. Should the requested quantity be the instantaneous quantity the answer will be 2 x Pav which equals 47.52W or 47.52J/s.
