16.6 Exercise 32

Avg difficulty 2.5

A sinusoidal wave travels down a taut, horizontal string with a linear mass density of μ=0.060kg/m.\mu = 0.060 \text{kg}/\text{m} . The magnitude of maximum vertical acceleration of the wave is aymax=0.90m/s2a_{y \text{max}} = 0.90 \text{m}/\text{s}^{2} and the amplitude of the wave is 0.40 m. The string is under a tension of FT=600.00NF_{T} = 600.00 \text{N}. The wave moves in the negative x-direction. Write an equation to model the wave.
