Question

sinusoidal wave in a string is described by the wave function y 5 0.150 sin (0.800x 2 50.0t) where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. The mass per length of the string is 12.0 g/m. (a) Find the maximum transverse acceleration of an element of this string. (b) Determine the maximum transverse force on a 1.00-cm segment of the string . (c) State how the force found in part (b) compares with the tension in the string

Answer 1

a) 375m/s2

b) F = 0.045N

c) F/T = 0.00096

d) Tension = 46.9N
