Chapter 15, Problem 52P
(II) One end of a horizontal string of linear density 6.6 × 10−4 kg/m is attached to a small-amplitude mechanical 120-Hz oscillator. The string passes over a pulley, a distance ℓ = 1.50 m away, and weights are hung from this end, Fig. 15-37. What mass m must lie hung from this end of the string to produce (a) one loop, (b) two loops, and (c) five loops of a standing wave? Assume the string at the oscillator is a node, which is nearly true.

(c) At point 5, is the particle at what position
In Fig. 15-28, a spring–blocksystem is put into SHM in two experiments. In the first, the block ispulled from the equilibrium positionthrough a displacement d1 and thenreleased. In the second, it is pulledfrom the equilibrium positionthrough a greater displacement d2 and then released.
