17PRACTICE PROBLEM
A wire is stretched horizontally between two vertical stems. When it is strummed, the wire vibrates in its fundamental mode at a frequency of 95 Hz. The transverse waves on this stretched wire have a wavelength of 31 cm, a speed of 29.45 m/s, and an amplitude of 5 mm. What are the maximum transverse velocity and the maximum transverse acceleration of the wire particle at x = 15.5 cm, x = 7.75 cm, and x = 3.875 cm from the left stem?
