Transverse Sinusoidal Wave Function

AI Thread Summary
A transverse sinusoidal wave on a string with a period of 25 ms travels at 30 m/s in the negative x direction. At t=0, a particle at x=0 has a displacement of 2 cm and a downward speed of 2 m/s. Participants are seeking assistance in calculating the wave's amplitude, phase constant, and maximum transverse speed. The discussion encourages sharing attempted solutions to better facilitate help. Engaging with the problem-solving process is emphasized for effective assistance.

A transverse sinusoidal wave on a string has a period of 25 ms and travels in the negative x direction with a speed of 30 m/s. At t=0, a particle on the string at x=0 has a displacement of 2 cm and is traveling downward with a speed of 2 m/s.

Find the amplitude, phase constant, and maximum transverse speed of the string.

If anyone could give us any help in this it would be appreciated!

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
