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.

Answer question 1b showing fully all the steps. Solution should be simplified and easy to understand as much as possible!
A string is stretched so that it is under tension and is tied at both ends so that the endpoints don't move. A mechanical oscillator then vibrates the string so that a standing wave is created. The dark line in each diagram represents a snapshot of a string at an instant in time when the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum. The lighter lines represent the string at other times during a complete cycle. All of the strings are identical except for their lengths, and all strings have the same tension. The number of nodes and antinodes in each standing wave is different. the lengths of the strings (L) and the amplitudes at the antinodes (A) are given in each figure. Rank the speed of the wave in the strings. Enter in the form A > B = C . Hint: v=(T/μ)0.5.
Water waves from a source far to the left (not shown) travel in the rightward direction and disturb the height of the water by a maximum displacement A from the equilibrium level (dashed line).

Figure 2 shows measurements of the vertical displacement from equilibrium, y, of Mo's boat as a function of time, which he recorded with his ioLab device.
