A transverse harmonic wave travels on a rope according to thefollowing expression: y(x,t) = 0.17sin(2.8x + 17.3t) The massdensity of the rope is μ = 0.107 kg/m. x and y are measured inmeters and t in seconds.
1)
What is the tension in the rope?
2)
At x = 3.5 m and t = 0.4 s, what is the velocity of the rope?(watch your sign)
3)
At x = 3.5 m and t = 0.4 s, what is the acceleration of therope? (watch your sign)
4)
What is the average speed of the rope during one completeoscillation of the rope?
5)
In what direction is the wave traveling?
6)
On the same rope, how would increasing the wavelength of thewave change the period of oscillation?
