From equation (3),
y=(0.100 m)sin(πx−πt)
For the point 1.50 m to the right of the left end of the string:
Substitute 1.50 m for x in the above expression.
y=(0.100 m)sin(π(1.50 m)−πt)
Solve the above expression for y,
y=(0.100 m)sin(4.71−πt)
Conclusion:
Therefore, the equation of motion for the left end of string is 0.100sin(4.71−πt).
(g)
The maximum speed of element of the string.
(g)

Answer to Problem 16.13P
The maximum speed of element of string is 0.314 m/s.
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The wavelength of wave is 2.00 m, the amplitude is 0.100 m. The speed of wave in string is 1.00 m/s. The left end of wave is at origin at t=0.
From equation (3), the position of the wave is,
y=(0.100 m)sin(πx−πt)
The change in position with respect to time gives the speed.
Differentiate above equation n with respect to time,
v=dydt
Here,
v is speed of the element of string.
Substitute (0.100 m)sin(πx−πt) for y in the above expression.
v=d((0.100 m)sin(πx−πt))dt
Solve the above expression for v,
v=d((0.100 m)sin(πx−πt))dt=(0.100 m)dsin(πx−πt)dt+sin(πx−πt)d(0.100 m)dt=(0.100 m)cos(πx−πt)(−π)+0
Substitute 3.14 for π in the above expression.
=(0.100 m)cos((3.14)x−(3.14)t)(−3.14)+0=−0.314 mcos((3.14)x−(3.14)t)
As the cosine wave varies from the positive of +1 to the negative of +1. So the maximum speed of any element of string is 0.314 m/s.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the maximum speed of element of string is 0.314 m/s.

- Define operational amplifierarrow_forwardA bungee jumper plans to bungee jump from a bridge 64.0 m above the ground. He plans to use a uniform elastic cord, tied to a harness around his body, to stop his fall at a point 6.00 m above the water. Model his body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and obeying Hooke's law. In a preliminary test he finds that when hanging at rest from a 5.00 m length of the cord, his body weight stretches it by 1.55 m. He will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the bridge. (a) What length of cord should he use? Use subscripts 1 and 2 respectively to represent the 5.00 m test length and the actual jump length.
