Solving Waves on a Metal Rod with kx + Φ
I am trying to solve this question by ξ = A*cos(ωt + θ)*sin(kx + Φ) Anyway, the two initial terms of the product helps nothing (i think), what matters is sin(kx + Φ) So, i tried by two ways: First: The stress is essentially zero on the ends, that is, something like cte*∂ξ/∂x (strain) would be...- LCSphysicist
