A 1.50-m string of weight 0.0125 N is tied to the ceil- ing at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Ignore the very small variation in tension along the length of the string that is produced by the weight of the string. When you pluck the string slightly, the waves traveling up the string obey the equation. Assume that the tension of the string is constant and equal to W.
(a) How much time does it take a pulse to travel the full length of the string?
(b) What is the weight W?
(c) How many wavelengths are on the string at any instant of time?
(d) What is the equation for waves traveling ?down? the string?

The wave equation is missing and it is y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x − 4830 rad/s t)
A) 0.0534 seconds
B) 0.67N
C) 41
D) (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x + 4830 rad/s t)
Explanation:
we are given weight of string = 0.0125N
Thus, since weight = mg
Then, mass of string = 0.0125/9.8
Mass of string = 1.275 x 10⁻³ kg
Length of string; L= 1.5 m .
mass per unit length; μ = (1.275 x 10⁻³)/1.5
μ = 0.85 x 10⁻³ kg/m
We are given the wave equation: y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x − 4830 rad/s t)
Now if we compare it to the general equation of motion of standing wave on a string which is:
y(x,t) = Acos(Kx − ω t)
We can deduce that
angular velocity;ω = 4830 rad/s
Wave number;k = 172 rad/m
A) Velocity is given by the formula;
V = ω/k
Thus, V = 4830/172 m/s
V = 28.08 m /s
Thus time taken to go up the string = 1.5/28.08 = 0.0534 seconds
B) We know that in strings,
V² = F/μ
Where μ is mass per unit length and V is velocity.
Thus, F = V²*μ =28.08² x 0.85 x 10⁻³
F = 0.67N
C) Formula for wave length is given as; wave length;λ = 2π /k
λ = 2 x π/ 172
λ = 0.0365 m
Thus, number of wave lengths over whole length of string
= 1.5/0.0365 = 41
D) The equation for waves traveling down the string
= (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x + 4830 rad/s t)
