Imagine a string that is fixed at both ends (for example, a guitar string). When plucked, the string forms a standing wave. The displacement, u(x, t), of the string varies with position x and time t. Suppose a,t) = 2sin(xx)sin() for 0 0. At a fixed point in time, the string forms a wave on 10, 11. Alternatively, if you focus on a point on the string (fix a value of r), that point oscillates up and down in time. a.) What is the period of the motion in time? За.) du 3b.) dt b.) Find the rate of change of the displacement with respect to time at a constant position (which is the vertical velocity of a point on the string.) 3c.) x = c.)

The blood pressure of a particular person is modeled approximately by: P = 135+30cos(2.5(t)pi) where P is pressure in millimeters of mercury t seconds after the heart contracts. 1) Sketch one wave (starting at t = 0) of the cosine wave. Be sure to label your axes appropriately with P and t, as well as appropriate scales. Your P axis does not have to start at zero (it may begin at the minimum of the wave). Also clearly label five points on your cosine wave, which correspond to the minimums, maximums and zeros of the wave. Each point should have two coordinates. 2) What is the person’s blood pressure as an approximate ratio of two numbers? 3) What is the period of the heartbeat? 4) What is the pulse rate in beats per minute?arrow_forward
- According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, in Anchorage, Alaska, the number of hours of sunlight on the summer solstice of 2010 was 19.42 and the number of hours of sunlight on the winter solstice was 5.48. (a) Find a sinusoidal function of the form y=Asin(ωx- ϕ)+B that models the data. (b) Use the function found in part (a) to predict the number of hours of sunlight on April 1,the 91st day of the year. (c) Draw a graph of the function found in part (a). *(d) Look up the number of hours of sunlight for April 1 in the Old Farmer’s Almanac,and compare the actual hours of daylight to the results found in part (c).arrow_forward4. In biology the predator-prey model is used to predict the number of prey animals, R, at a particular time t, in years. This number is cyclic, fluctuating with the number of predators. The number of rabbits, R, in a certain region is given by the equation R(t) = 2000 sin(t) + 5000. a) Sketch the graph of this relationship b) Determine how many rabbits there will be in 4 years.arrow_forwardThe number of hours of daylight each day for a particular city can be modeled using the sinusoidal function s(m)=5sin(2π/12m−π/2)+13 , where s is the number of hours of sunlight per day, and m represents the month of the year, with m=1 corresponding to January, m=2 corresponding to February, etc. What is the number of hours of daylight in the longest day of the year?

- When a spring oscillates with decreasing amplitude (because it is being damped by friction, for example), its motion is often modeled as the product of a trigonometric function (the oscillation) and an exponential function (the decay of amplitude). Suppose that the displacement of a particular damped spring is s(t) 2e-1.8t cos(2πt), with s in inches and t in seconds. a) Find the spring's velocity with respect to t: v(t) = -4 pi ^(-1.8t) sin(2 pi ! t)-3.6e^(-1.8t) cos(2 pi t) That's not it. in/sec .-1.8t -4π¯¯ = -1.8t sin(2πt) — 3.6e¯ Preview v(t) = cos(2π. t) in/secarrow_forwardState the amplitude, period, phase shift and range for the sinusoid g(x) = -3sin(5x-11/4) + 19arrow_forwardAn angle modulated signal has the form V(t) = 100 cos(2nf t+4 sin 2000 t) when f =10 MHz.arrow_forward
- The manner in which a string is plucked determines the mixture of harmonic amplitudes in the resulting wave. Consider a string exactly 1/2-m long that is fixed at both its ends located at x = 0.0 and x = m. The first five harmonics of this string have wavelengths λ₁ = 1.0 m, λ₂ = 1/2 m, λ = 1/3 m, 14 = 1/4 m, and λ5 = 1/5 m. According to Fourier's theorem, any shape of this string can be formed by a sum of its harmonics, with each harmonic having its own unique amplitude A. We limit the sum to the first five harmonics in the expression m D(x) = m An sin A, (²x) n=1 and D is the displacement of the string at a time t = 0. Imagine plucking this string at its midpoint (Fig. below (a)) or at a point two-thirds from the left end (Fig. below (b)). Use Excel, MATLAB, or other graphing software, to create two plots showing that the above expression can fairly accurately represent the shape in Fig. (a), if A₁ = 1.00, A₂ = 0.00, A3 = -0.11, A4 = 0.00, and A5 = 0.040 and in (b), if A₁ = 0.87, A₂…arrow_forwardA sine function has an amplitude of 7, a period of 720°, and range {y € R-2 ≤ y ≤ 12}. Identify the correct equation of this function. y = 5 sin(70) + 1/2 y = 7 sin(0) + 5 y = sin(70) + 5 y = 5 sin(0) + 7arrow_forwardAlex is measuring the time-averaged velocity components in a pump using a laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV). Since the laser beams are aligned with the radial and tangential directions of the pump, he measures the ur and u? com ponents of velocity. At r = 5.20 in and ? = 30.0°, ur = 2.06 ft/s and u? = 4.66 ft/s. Unfortunately, the data analysis program requires input in Cartesian coordinates (x, y) in feet and (u, ?) in ft/s. Help Alex transform his data into Cartesian coordinates. Specifically, calculate x, y, u, and ? at the given data point.arrow_forward
