Question: A sinusoidal wave is sent along a string with a linear density of 1 . 7 8 g m . As it travels, the kinetic

A sinusoidal wave is sent along a string with a linear density of 1.78gm. As it travels, the kinetic energies of the mass elements along the string vary. Figure (a) gives the rate dKdt at which kinetic energy passes through the string elements at a particular instant, plotted as a function of distance x along the string. Figure (b) is similar except that it gives the rate at which kinetic energy passes through a particular mass element (at a particular location), plotted as a function of time t. For both figures, the scale on the vertical (rate) axis is set by Rs=8W. What is the amplitude of the wave?
