Question: A sinusoidal wave travels down a taut, horizontal string with a linear mass density of = 0 . 0 4 0 kg / m .

A sinusoidal wave travels down a taut, horizontal string with a linear mass density of
=0.040kg/m.
The maximum vertical speed of the wave is
vymax=0.40cm/s.
The wave is modeled with the wave equation
y(x,t)=Asin(5.00m1x25.00s1t).
(a)
What is the amplitude of the wave (in cm)?
cm
(b)
What is the tension in the string (in N)?
