A 2m long string is stretched between two supports with a
tension that produces a wave speed equal to vw = 35 m/s.
What are the wavelength and frequency of the first three modes that
resonate on the string?

A steel string of length 2.0 meters and mass 15g/m is stretched
with a tension of 120 N and is fixed at both ends.
(i) Write down the wave equation and find the
general solution for string oscillations using the method of
variable separation.

frequencies and draw the corresponding mode shapes.
Tension is maintained in a string as in the figure below. The observed wave speed is v = 23.5 m/s when the suspended mass is m = 3.00 kg. What is the mass per unit length of the string? kg/m What is the wave speed when the suspended mass is m = 2.15 kg? m/s
A rope of negligible mass is stretched horizontally between two
supports that are 2.81 m apart. When an object of weight 4190 N is
hung at the center of the rope, the rope is observed to sag by 39.6
cm. What is the tension in the rope?
A 0.49-kg cord is stretched between two supports,7.3m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels down the cord and reaches the other support in 0.83s .
What is the tension in the cord? (Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
I. What is the difference between a standing wave in a string
and a wave that progresses within a string?
a) in a standing wave the location of maximums and minimums
along the string is constant in time.
b) in a wave that progresses the velocity of the wave changes
with time.
c) in a standing wave the wavelength is constant, whereas in a
progressing wave it is not
d) a standing wave is only created by having an external...
The equation of a transverse wave on a string is
y=(5mm)Sin[(10m-1)x+(200s-1)t]. The tension in the string is 50 N.

20. Energy in waves. As a sine-shaped wave
moves along a stretched string, each coil os the spring will
execute the simple harmonic motion. Suppose that a spring with
linear density ยต= 0.40 kg/m has a tension T=1.6N in it and that a
sine-shaped wave of amplitude 10cm and wavelength of 1.5 is moving
along the sprig. Consider a 1cm segment of the spring.
a. What is the mass of the 1cm segment of the spring?
b. What is the...
A string is stretched between a fixed support and a pulley a
distance 125 cm apart. The tension on the string is controlled by a
weight hanging from the string below the pulley. An electomechnical
vibrator is used to vibrate the string at 120 Hz. When the weight
is adjusted to 275 g, the string is found to oscillate in its third
standing wave mode (three loops). What is the speed of wave
propogation on the string in this mode?...
A transverse sinusoidal wave is generated at one end of a long,
horizontal string by a bar that moves up and down through a
distance of 1.7 cm. The motion is continuous and is repeated
regularly 160 times per second. The string has linear density 460
g/m and is kept under a tension of 140 N. Find the maximum value of
(a) the transverse speed u and
(b) the transverse component of the tension
T. (c)Show that the two maximum...
