2.2 q

15.24. A fellow student with a mathernatical bent tells you that the
wave function of a traveling wave on a thin rope is y(x, 1)
2.30 mm cos[(6.98 rad/m)x + (742 rad/s)t]. Being more practi-
cal, you measure the rope to have a length of 1.35 m and a mass
of 0.00338 kg. You are then asked to determine the following:
(a) amplitude; (b) frequency; (c) wavelength; (d) wave speed;
(e) direction the wave is traveling; (f) tension in the rope; (g) aver-
age power transmitted by the wave.
