Atransverse wave is traveling on a string stretched along the horizontal x-axis. the equation for the vertical displacement y of the string is given by y = (1.8 x 10-3)cos[π(13x - 60t)], where all quantities are in si units. what is the maximum speed of a particle of the string

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?
