A horizontal string can transmit a maximum power ℘0 (without breaking) if a wave with amplitude A and angular frequency ωis traveling along it. In order to increase this maximum power, a student folds the string and uses this “double string” as a medium. Determine the maximum power that can be transmitted along the “double string,”assuming that the tension is constant.
