Answer:
Explanation:
mass of string = .0125 / 9.8
= 1.275 x 10⁻³ kg
Length of string l = 1.5 m .
m = mass per unit length
= ( .1.275 / 1.5) x 10⁻³ kg/m
m = .85 x 10⁻³ kg/m
wave equation: y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x − 4830 rad/s t)
compare with equation of wave
y(x,t) = Acos(K x − ω t)
ω ( angular velocity ) = 4830 rad/s
k = 172 rad/m
Velocity = ω / k
= 4830/172 m /s
= 28.08 m /s
velocity of wave =
28.08 =
788.48 = W / .85 X 10⁻³
W = 670 x 10⁻³ N .
c ) wave length
wave length =2π / k
= 2 x 3.14 / 172
= .0365 m
no of wave lengths over whole length of string
= 1.5 / .0365
= 41
d )
equation for waves traveling down the string
= (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x + 4830 rad/s t)
