A sinusoidal wave traveling in the negative x direction (to the left) has an amplitude of 20.0 cm, a wavelength of 35.0 cm, and a frequency of 12.0 Hz. The transverse position of an element of the medium at t = 0, x = 0 is y = 23.00 cm, and the element has a positive velocity here. We wish to findan expression for the wave function describing this wave. (a) Sketch the wave at t = 0. (b) Find the angular wave number k from the wavelength. (c) Find the period T from the frequency. Find (d) the angular frequency ω and (e) the wave speed υ. (f) From the information about t = 0, find the phase constant φ.

A wire of volume density ρ is tapered so that its cross-sectional area varies according to:
A = 1.00*10-5x + 1.00*10-6 where A is measured in meters squared and x is in meters. The tension in the wire is T.
a) Find an equation for the speed of the wave as a function of position v(x).
b) If T is 24 N and ρ is 2700 kg/m3, determine how long it would take for a wave to propagate from one end to the other end, a distance of 10.0 m away.
