Question: A sinusoidal wave is sent along a string with a linear density of ( 2 . 2 5 mathrm { ~g } /

A sinusoidal wave is sent along a string with a linear density of \(2.25\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{m}\). 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 \( R_{s}=13\mathrm{~W}\). What is the amplitude of the wave?
