Question

A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave functiony(x, t) = 0.350 sin (1.25x + 99.6t)where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Consider the element of the string at x=0 . (a) What is the time interval between the first two instants when this element has a position of y=0.175 m?

Answer 1

The time interval that is between the first two instants when the element has a position of 0.175 is 0.0683.

How to solve for the time interval

We have y = 0.175

y(x, t) = 0.350 sin (1.25x + 99.6t) = 0.175

sin (1.25x + 99.6t) = 0.175

sin (1.25x + 99.6t) = 0.5

99.62 = pi/6

t1 = 5.257 x 10⁻³

99.6t = pi/6 + 2pi

= 0.0683

The time interval that is between the first two instants when the element has a position of 0.175 is 0.0683.

b. we have k = 1.25, w = 99.6t

v = w/k

99.6/1.25 = 79.68

s = vt

= 79.68 * 0.0683

= 5.02
