Question: A sinusoidal wave is sent along a string with a linear density of ( 1 . 7 7 mathrm { ~g } /

A sinusoidal wave is sent along a string with a linear density of \(1.77\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{m}\). As it travels, the kinetic energies of the mass elements along the string vary. Figure (\( a \)) gives the rate \( d K / d t \) 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 \( R_{5}=14\mathrm{~W}\). What is the amplitude of the wave?
