Question

1. A very long string with ? = 2.0 g/m is stretched along the x-axis with a tension of 5.0N. At x=0m it is tied to a 100Hz simple harmonic oscillator that vibrates perpendicular to the string with an amplitude of 2.0mm. The oscillator is at its maximum positive displacement at t=0s. a. Write the displacement equation for the travelling wave on the string, y(x,t). b. At t=5.0ms, what is the string’s displacement at a point 2.7m from the oscillator?

Step 1

First, we need to find the wave speed on the string. We can use the formula: v = sqrt(T/μ) where v is the wave speed, T is the tension, and μ is the linear mass density. Show more…
