SSM In a demonstration, a 1.2 kg horizontal rope is fixed in place at its two ends (x = 0 and x = 2.0 m) and made to oscillate up and down in the fundamental mode, at frequency 5.0 Hz. At t = 0, the point at x = 1.0 m has zero displacement and is moving upward in the positive direction of a y axis with a transverse velocity of 5.0 m/s. What are (a) the amplitude of the motion of that point and (b) the tension in the rope? (c) Write the standing wave equation for the fundamental mode.

- A car driving along a highway at a speed of 23 m-1 strays onto the shoulder. Evenly spaced parallel grooves called rumble strips are carved into the pavement of the shoulder. Rolling over the rumble strips causes the car's wheels to oscillate up and down at a frequency of 82 Hz. How far apart are the centers of adjacent rumble-strip grooves?arrow_forwardA string oscillates according to the equation y' = (0.367 cm) sin[(n/5.0 cm-1)x] cos[(45.2 ns)t].
