Question: A mass on a spring undergoing SHM oscillates vertically at an amplitude of 2 5 . 0 cm . It is tied to a piece

A mass on a spring undergoing SHM oscillates vertically at an amplitude of 25.0 cm. It is tied to a piece of string, and creates a wave traveling to the right at a speed of 16.0 m/s and frequency of 3.0 Hz. The piece of string is fixed at the other end. a.) What is the wavelength of the wave produced? (5 pts) b.) Write the wavefunction for the wave the SHM produces in terms of x,t and appropriate constants. (6 pts) c.) What is the shortest possible length of the string in order to create a standing wave with this configuration?
