In Fig. 16-42, a string, tied to a sinusoidal oscillator at Pand running over a support at Q, is stretched by a block of mass m.The separation L between P and Q is 1.20 m, and the frequency fof the oscillator is fixed at 120 Hz.The amplitude of the motion atP is small enough for that point to be considered a node.A nodealso exists at Q. A standing wave appears when the mass of thehanging block is 286.1 g or 447.0 g, but not for any intermediatemass.What is the linear density of the string?
Figure 17-37 shows a transmitter and receiver of waves con- tained in a single instrument. It is used to measure the speed u of a target object (idealized as a flat plate) that is moving directly toward the unit, by analyzing the waves reflected from the target. What is u if the emitted frequency is 18.0 kHz and the detected frequency (of the returning waves) is 22.2 kHz?
A sinusoidal wave on a string is described by the wave function yy(xx,tt) = 0.02 sin(30xx − 400tt) (SIunits). If the string’s linear mass density is μμ = 0.005 kg/m, then the transmitted power is:
Two sinusoidal waves of wavelength λ = 2/3 m and amplitude A = 6 cm and differing with their phase constant, are travelling to the right with same velocity v = 60 m/s. The resultant wave function y_res (x,t) will have the form:
Two transverse waves travel along the same taut string and interfere. Waves 1 and 2 are described, respectively, by the function y1(x, t) = A sin(kx - ωt) and y2(x, t) = A cos(3kx + 3ωt). The phases (arguments of the sine and cosine functions) are in radians, as usual, and A = 7.9 cm, k = 5.1 rad/m, ω = 3.2 rad/s. d. For A = 7.9 cm, k = 5.1 rad/m, and ω = 3.2 rad/s, calculate the total displacement of the string, in centimeters, at the position x = 3.8 m at time t = 8.2 s.
Two sinusoidal waves are moving through a medium in the positive x-direction, both having amplitudes of 7.00 cm, a wave number of k=3.00 m-1, an angular frequency of =2.50 s-1, and a period of 6.00 s, but one has a phase shift of an angle =12 rad. What is the height of the resultant wave at a time t=2.00 s and a position x=0.53 m?
A string is under tension FT1. Energy is transmitted by a wave on the string at rate P1by a wave of frequency f1. What is the ratio of the new energy transmission rate P2to P1if the tension is doubled?
For Practice Questions 19 - 21: Consider two waves meet in space, y1 = 2 cos(0.05nx - 200nt), and y2 = 2 cos (0.05nx + 200nt). 19. Find the resultant wave form.

Two identical sinusoidal waves with wavelengths of 1.5 m travel in the same direction at a speed of 10 m/s. If the two waves originate from the same starting point, but with time delay ∆t between them, and with resultant amplitude A_resultant = √3 A then ∆t will be equal to
