I was wondering:
Suppose I have a rope on a table with one end fixed. I take the other end and give a quick and hard snap. It will produce a traveling wave. Is there a PDE that could describe this? Or is there one that I could come up with? The time evolving amplitude will probably depend on the material of the rope(some constant), and the initial force of the snap.
