A long string carries a wave; a 8.50-m segment of the string contains five complete wavelengths and has a mass of 180 g. The string vibrates sinusoidally with a frequency of 60.0 Hz and a peak-to-valley displacement of 16.0 cm. (The "peak-to-valley" distance is the vertical distance from the farthest positive position to the farthest negative position.) (a) Write the function that describes this wave traveling in the positive x direction. (Use the following as necessary: x and t. x is in meters and t is in seconds. Enter your numerical coefficients to four significant figures.) (b) Determine the power being supplied to the string.

A sinusoidal wave is traveling on a string with speed 150 cm/s. The displacement of the particles of the string at x = 22 cm is found to vary with time according to the equationy = (7.6 cm) sin[0.85 - (5.8 s-1)t].The linear density of the string is 9.9 g/cm. What are (a) the frequency and (b) the wavelength of the wave? If the wave equation is of the formy(x,t) = ym sin(kx - ωt),what are (c) ym, (d) k, and (e) ω, and (f) the correct choice of sign in front of ω? (g) What is the tension in the string?
A vibrator with a frequency of 1200 Hz drives a 42 cm length of string attached to it. At the end of the string is a weight hangs to it and adjusted until a standing wave is formed. The string encompasses six (6) loops – that is, 6 segments of string between one node and the next where each loop represents a length of λ2 . Based on the information, what is the wavelength of the standing wave on the string?
A string is strung horizontally with a fixed tension. A wave of frequency 60.0 Hz is sent along the string, and it has a wave speed of 58.4 m/s. Then a second wave, one of frequency 120 Hz, is sent along the string. What is the wave speed of the second wave?
