A standing wave on a 1-m string fixed at both ends is described by: y(x,t) = 0.3sin(5Ttx)cos(60rt), where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. An element on the string located at x = 0.1m would have a maximum transverse speed for the third time at: t = 1/24 sec t = 1/40 sec O t= 1/60 sec t = 1/20 sec O t= 1/30 sec
A string is connected to an oscillator and then laid horizontally, with the other end draped over a pulley and a mass of 200g is hung from that end. The string is found to have a mass of 15g and a length of 1.2m. The oscillator is turned on and the frequency is tuned until a standing wave is seen. You see 6 full wavelengths along the 1.2m length of the string. The oscillator frequency is set to 63Hz. What is the speed of the wave on the string based on your measurements? Give your answer in m/s and to 1 decimal place.
