Question
The graph below shows a "snapshot" of a sinusoidal wave in a string. A formula for the power of this
wave (the rate at which it transports energy) is given below the graph. To use this formula, estimate from
the graph the amplitude of the wave to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

Expert Solution
Step 1

From the graph, the maximum vertical displacement of the wave seems to be just below the midpoint between 10 cm and 15 cm. Thus, the amplitude of the wave is estimated to be 12.0 cm.
