A very long string (linear density 0.6 kg/m ) is stretched with a tension of 80 N . One end of the string oscillates up and down with an amplitude of 7 cm and a period of 0.35 s . What is the wavelength of the waves created in the string?

Step 1
Since the frequency is the reciprocal of the period, we have speed = 1 / 0.35 = 2.857 Hz. Show more…

The mass of a string is 8.40 10-3 kg, and it is stretched so the tension in it is 225 N. A transverse wave traveling on this string has a frequency of 260 Hz and a wavelength of 0.60 m. What is the length of the string? m

A long and uniform string of mass density 0.05 kg/m is pulled with a force of 200 N. The string displaced from equilibrium so that two waves propagate on the string simultaneously, given by: y1(x,t) = (3.2 mm)cos(k1x - ω1t) y2(x,t) = (3 mm)cos(k2x - ω2t) Where t is in seconds and the wavelength of the first wave ( y1(x,t) ) is 6.6 cm , and the wavelength of the second wave ( y2(x,t) ) is 0.7 cm . What is the strings vertical velocity (in m/s ) at point x = 8.4 m at instant t = 1 s?

A string has a linear density of $8.5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}$ and is under a tension of 280 N. The string is 1.8 m long, is fixed at both ends, and is vibrating in the standing wave pattern shown in the drawing. Determine the (a) speed, (b) wavelength, and (c) frequency of the traveling waves that make up the standing wave.
