Question

Transcribed Image Text:The string shown in the figure is driven at a frequency of 5.00 Hz. The amplitude of the motion is A = 14.0 cm, and the wave speed is v= 18.0 m/s. Furthermore, the wave is such that y = 0 at x = 0
and t = 0.
(a) Determine the angular frequency for this wave (in rad/s).
