Homework Statement
A guitar string is vibrating in its fundamental mode, with nodes at each end. The length of the segment of the string that is free to vibrate is 0.380m. The maximum transverse acceleration of a point at the middle of the segment is 8700m/s^2 and the maximum transverse velocity is 3.10m/s. What is the amplitude of this standing wave?
Homework Equations
y (x,t)= Asinkxsin[tex]\omega[/tex]t
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]\lambda[/tex] = 2L = 0.760m
k= 2[tex]\pi[/tex]/[tex]\lambda[/tex]=8.267
A= -[tex]\omega[/tex]^2 y(x,t)=8700m/s^2
v y(x,t)=derivative of y(x,t) wrt t = 3.10 where y=0 (v max)
This is where I get stuck.
