Question

Transcribed Image Text:Question 15
ent) ₂
The left edge of a water bed mattress is briefly compressed (negative displacement) setting
up a traveling wave. A time 0.62 s later, the wave forces the right edge (1.50 m away) to
reach its maximum positive displacement for the first time. At that instant, the nearest point
also at a maximum positive displacement is 12.0 cm from the right edge. The velocity of
propagation of the wave is closest to
A. 1.07 m/s B. 2.42 m/s C. 2.52 m/s D. 2.61 m/s E. 2.70 m/s

- A standing wave pattern is created on a string with mass density p = 3 x 10-4 kg/m. A wave generator with frequency f = 62 Hz is attached to one end of the string and the other end goes over a pulley and is connected to a mass (ignore the weight of the string between the pulley and mass). The distance between the generator and pulley isL = 0.66 m.
