Stretched string

A stretched string is a wire which is made up of any metal that must have a larger length compared to its thickness. The ends of the wire are fixed, and when they oscillate or are plucked, it produces two reflected transverse waves of the same frequency and same amplitude. The waves or pulses are traveling in alternate directions and superimpose with one another. This waveform is named standing or stationary waves.

Question

The drawing shows two strings that have the same length and linear
density. The left end of each string is attached to a wall, while the
right end passes over a pulley and is connected to objects of
different weights (WA and WB). Different standing waves are set up
on each string, but their frequencies are the same. If WA = 52 N,
what is WB?

*112. The figure shows waves traveling on two strings. Each string is attached to a wall at one end and to a box that has a weight of 28.0 N at the other end. String 1 has a mass of 8.00 g and a length of 4.00 cm, and string 2 has a mass of 12.0 g and a length of 8.00 cm. Concepts: (i) Is the tension the same in each string? (ii) Is the speed of each wave the same? (iii) String 1 has a smaller mass and, hence, less inertia than string 2. Does this mean that the speed of the wave on string 1 is greater than the speed on string 2? Calculations: Determine the speed of the wave on each string. String 1 String 2 28.0 N
Two identical guitar strings are prepared such that they have the same length (0.68) and are under the same amount of tension. The first string is plucked at one location, primarily exciting the first harmonic. The other string is plucked in a different location, primarily exciting the fourth harmonic. The resulting sounds give rise to a beat frequency of 324Hz. What is the wave propagation speed on the guitar strings? wave propagation speed: m/s
The high E string on a guitar has a linear density of 3.09 x 10^-4 kg/m and the low E string has a linear density of 5.78 × 10^-3 kg/m. a) If the high E string is plucked, what is the velocity of the wave if the tension of the string is 56.40 N? b) For a wave to travel through the low E string at the same velocity, what would be the tension of the string?
The displacement of a transverse wave traveling on a string is represented by D1=4.2sin(0.84x−47t+2.1) , where D1 and x are in cm and t in s. Find an equation that represents a wave which, when traveling in the opposite direction, will produce a standing wave when added to this one, D2.
