A harmonic wave on a string with a mass per unit length of 0.050 kg/m and a tension of 60 N has an amplitude of 5.0 cm. Each section of the string moves with simple harmonic motion at a frequency of 8 Hz. Find the power propagated along the string.

Power of the string wave will be equal to 5.464 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass per unit length is 0.050 kg/m

Tension in the string T = 60 N

Amplitude of the wave A = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Frequency f = 8 Hz

So angular frequency

Velocity of the string wave is equal to

Power of wave propagation is equal to

So power of the wave will be equal to 5.464 watt

the force required to move the cart is divided by three or 33.33 n.
