c. Assume a form y) = A sin(a) for the transverse displacement of the string. Enter an expression for a of a transverse wave on a string traveling along the positive x-direction in terms of its wavenumber k, the position x, its angular frequency w, and the time t.
d. Assume a form y2 = A sin(a) for the transverse displacement of the string. Write an expression for a of a transverse wave on a string traveling along the negative x-direction in terms of its wavenumber k, the position x, its angular frequency w, and the time t.

Part(a): The mass per unit length = $22.05 Kg m^{-1}$ .

Part(b): The velocity of the traveling transverse wave = $2.04 m s^{-1}$

Part(c): The expression for a transverse wave on the string travelling along positive x-direction is $y(x,t) = A \sin(kx - \omega t)$

Part(d): The expression for a transverse wave on the string travelling along negative x-direction is $y_{-}(x,t) = A \sin(kx - \omega t)$

Part(e): The equation of the standing wave is $y(x,t) = 2A \sin(kx) \cos(\omega t)$ .

Explanation:

Part(a):

The mass per unit length ( $\mu$ ) is given by,

$\mu = \pi~ r^{2} \rho = \pi \times 9 \times 10^{-4}~m~\times 7800~kg~m^{-3} = 22.05~Kg~m^{-1}$

Part(b):

According to the figure, the net force on the element ( $\Delta x$ ) of the string, is the sum of the tension in the string ( $F_{T}$ ) and the restoring force. The x-components of the force of tension will cancel each other, so the net force is equal to the sum of the y-components of the force. To obtain the y-components of the force, at $x = x_{1}$

$(\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{1} }= \dfrac{- F_{V^{-}}}{F_{T}}$

and at $x = x_{2}$

$(\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{2} }= \dfrac{F_{V^{+}}}{F_{T}}$

The net force ( $F_{net}$ ) on the string element is given by

$F_{net} = F_{V}^{+} + F_{V}^{-}\\~~~~~~~= F_{T}[ (\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{2}} - (\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{1}}]$

According to Newton's second law of motion, $F_{net} = \Delta x \times \mu$ , where $\mu$ is mass per unit length. So,

$&& \Delta x \times \mu \dfrac{\partial^{2}y}{\partial t^{2}} = [(\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{2}} - (\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{1}}] \times F_{T}\\&or,& \dfrac{\mu}{F_{T}} \dfrac{\partial^{2}y}{\partial t^{2}} = \dfrac{[(\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{2}} - (\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x})_{x = x_{1}}]}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{\partial^{2}y}{\partial x^{2}}$

Comparing the above equation with standard wave equation

$\dfrac{\partial^{2}y}{\partial x^{2}} = \dfrac{1}{v^{2}} \dfrac{\partial^{2}y}{\partial x^{2}}$

the the velocity () of the transverse wave is

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{F_{T}}{\mu}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{92~N}{22.05~Kg~m_{-1}}} = 2.04~m~s^{-1}$

Part(c):

If the wave having wavelength ' $\lambda$ ' propagates along positive x-direction with the constant velocity '', then at any instant of time '' , then its angular displacement ' $\theta$ ' is related to the linear displacement 'x' is written as

$&& \dfrac{\theta}{x} = \dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda}\\&or,& \theta = \dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda} x$

Also the distance travelled by the wave at time 't' with constant velocity 'v' is .

So the wave equation can be written as

$y(x,t) = A \sin(\theta)\\~~~~~~~~~= A \sin(\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}(x - vt)) \\~~~~~~~~~= A\sin(\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}~x - \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda} vt)\\~~~~~~~~~= A\sin(kx - \omega t)$

where '' is the wave number $k = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$ and $\omega = \dfrac{2\pi v}{\lambda} = \dfrac{2 \pi \dfrac{\lambda}{T}}{\lambda} = \dfrac{2 \pi}{T}$ is the natural angular frequency.

The wave equation propagating along positive x-direction is given by

. $y_{+} = A \sin(kx - \omega t)$

Part(d):

By the same argument given above The wave equation propagating along negative x-direction is given by

$y_{-} = A \sin(kx - \omega t)$

Part(e):

The wave equation propagating along positive x-direction is given by

$y_{1}(x,t) = A \sin(kx - \omega t)$

Similarly, the wave equation propagating along negative x-direction is given by

$y_{2} = A \sin(kx + \omega t)$

So the equation of the standing wave on the string created by $y_{1}(x,t)$ and $y_{2}(x,t)$ is the superposition of the waves and is given by

$y(x,t) = y_{1}(x,t) + y_{2}(x,t)\\~~~~~~~~~= A \sin(kx - \omega t) + A \sin(kx + \omega t)\\~~~~~~~~~= 2A \sin(kx) \cos(\omega t)$
