From Figure 16.4a, determine the displacement of a point

(a)  1.0 m,

(b) \(1.5 \mathrm{~m}\),

(c) \(2.0 \mathrm{~m}\) from the left end of the string.

(d) On a snapshot taken a short time interval later, is the displacement at \(x=1.5 \mathrm{~m}\) greater than, equal to, or smaller than that shown in Figure 16.4a?
