Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the analysis of oscillating strings, specifically addressing the motion along the x and y axes. The contributor initially attempted to break down the problem into two steps but questioned the correctness of their approach after realizing a notation error. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of precise notation in physics problems, particularly in the context of oscillatory motion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of oscillatory motion principles
  • Familiarity with coordinate systems in physics
  • Knowledge of notation in mathematical physics
  • Basic skills in analyzing wave functions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of oscillatory motion in detail
  • Learn about coordinate transformations in physics
  • Review common notational conventions in mathematical physics
  • Explore wave function analysis techniques
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators teaching oscillatory motion, and anyone involved in the analysis of wave phenomena will benefit from this discussion.

Homework Statement
That's an easy problem. I will post below.
Relevant Equations
All below.

I thought we could do the part a by two steps:

(Studying the motion along x {there is no})

and along y

(Here should be T + dT)******

But apparently the answer is: "

"
So i think if the answer is wrong or, if not, where i made a mistake?
