(b)
Find the angular frequency (in rad/s) for this wave.
rad/s
(c)
Find the angular wave number (in rad/m) for this wave.
rad/m
(d)
Find the wave function for this wave in SI units. (Use the following as necessary: x and t. Assume x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Do not include units in your answer.)
y =
(e)
Determine the equation of motion in SI units for the left end of the string. (Use the following as necessary: t. Assume y is in meters and t is in seconds. Do not include units in your answer.)
y =
(f)
Determine the equation of motion in SI units for the point on the string at x =1.35 m to the right of the left end. (Use the following as necessary: t. Assume y is in meters and t is in seconds. Do not include units in your answer.)
y =
