Answer
Given,
y(x, t) = (3.5 cm) cos(2.7 x − 92 t)
comparing the given equation with general equation
y(x,t) = A cos(k x - ω t)
A = 3.5 cm , k = 2.7 rad/m , ω = 92 rad/s
we know,
a) ω =2πf
f = 92/ 2π
f = 14.64 Hz
b) Wavelength of the wave
we now, k = 2π/λ
2π/λ = 2.7
λ = 2 π/2.7
λ = 2.33 m
c) Speed of wave
v = ν λ
v = 14.64 x 2.33
v = 34.11 m/s
Hi,
To convert 3 days to seconds write this.
1h = 3600s
24h = 3600 · 24 = 86400
3 days = 3 · 86400 = 259200sec
Hope this helps.
