Waves on a string are described by the following general equation

y(x,t)=Acos(kx−ωt).

A transverse wave on a string is traveling in the +xdirection with a wave speed of 8.50 m/s , an amplitude of 9.00×10−2 m , and a wavelength of 0.490 m . At time t=0, the x=0 end of the string has its maximum upward displacement. Find the transverse displacement y of a particle at x = 1.52 m and t = 0.150 s .

A) Find the transverse displacement y of a particle at x = 1.52 m at time t = 0.150 s .

B)How much time must elapse from the instant in part (c) until the particle at x = 1.52 m next has maximum upward displacement?
