A Nonsinusoidal Wave. The shape of a wave on a string at a specific instant is shown in Fig. 15.38. The wave is propagating to the right, in the + x-direction.
(a) Determine the direction of the transverse velocity of each of the six labeled points on the string. If the velocity is zero, state it as such. Explain your reasoning.
(b) Determine the direction of the transverse acceleration of each of the six labeled points on the suing. Explain your reasoning.
(c) How would your answers be affected if the wave were propagating to the left, in the -x-direction?
