A string of 1 m length clamped at both ends is plucked in the middle to generate a standing wave. Calculate: The value of maximum velocity of up and down motion of the string at midpoint. Take the frequency of the first harmonic to be 10 Hz and the amplitude of the oscillations to be 2 cm. Consider the motion to be a simple harmonic one where appropriate.

Plot a velocity resonance curve for a driven, damped oscillator with Q = 6, and show that the full width of the curve between the points corresponding to is approximately equal to ω0/6.
Parcels of air (small volumes of air) in a stable atmosphere (where the temperature increases with height) can oscillate up and down, due to the restoring force provided by the buoyancy of the air parcel. The frequency of the oscillations are a measure of the stability of the atmosphere. Assuming that the acceleration of an air parcel can be modeled as 2zt2=g(z)0zz , prove that z=z0etN2 is a solution, where N is known as the Brunt-Väisälä frequency. Note that in a stable atmosphere, the density decreases with height and parcel oscillates up and down.
Prove that using x(t)=Asin(t+) will produce the same results for the period for the oscillations of a mass and a spring. Why do you think the cosine function was chosen?

A sinusoidal, transverse wave is produced on a stretched spring, having a period T. Each section of the spring moves perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, in simple harmonic motion with an amplitude A. Does each section oscillate with the same period as the wave or a different period? If the amplitude of the transverse wave were doubled but the period stays the same, would your answer be the same?
