A sinusoidal wave in a string is described by the wave function
where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. The mass per length of the string is 12.0 g/m. (a) Find the maximum transverse acceleration of an element of this string. (b) Determine the maximum transverse force on a 1.00-cm segment of the string. (c) State how the force found in part (b) compares with the tension in the string.
(a)
The maximum transverse acceleration.
The mass per length of the string is
The wave function of the string is given as,
   Â
The above expression is the standard form of the wave function,
 Â
Here,
Formula to calculate thetransverse speed is,
   Â
Here,
Substitute
   Â
For maximum transverse speed,
   Â
Therefore,the maximum transverse speed is,
   Â
The negative sign is not considered for the transverse because transverse represents the negative direction
(b)
The maximum transverse force.
(c)
The comparison between maximum transverse force and tension in the string.
