The equation of a transverse wave travelling along a very long string is ? = 0.06???(2?? − 4??). The string has a linear density of 0.025 kg/m. Determine: (a) the direction of the wave. (b) the wavelength, frequency and wave velocity. (c) the displacement y for the string particle at x = 0.035 m at time t = 0.26 s. (d) the maximum speed of a string particle.(e) the tension in the string. Sketch the wave on the string at time t = 1s. Also indicate on your sketch a position where a string element has zero elastic potential energy.
