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 …

Textbook Question

Chapter 18, Problem 18.2QQ

Consider the waves in Figure 17.8 to be waves on a stretched string. Define the velocity of elements of the string as positive if they are moving upward in the figure. (i) At the moment the string has the shape shown by the red-brown curve in Figure 17.8a, what is the instantaneous velocity of elements along the string? (a) zero for all elements (b) positive for all elements (c) negative for all elements (d) varies with the position of the element (ii) From the same choices, at the moment the string has the shape shown by the red-brown curve in Figure 17.8b, what is the instantaneous velocity of elements along the string?
