Question

A $2$ in long string fixed at both ends is set into vibrations in its first overtone. The wave speed on the string is $200m/s$ and thee amplitude is $0.5\ cm.$

Find the wavelength and the frequency.
Write the equation giving the displacement of different points as a function of time. Choose the $X-$axis along the string with the origin at one end and $t = 0$ at the instant when the point $x = 50\ cm$ has reached its maximum displacement.

Answer

$\text{V}=200\text{m/s},\ 2\text{A}=0.5\text{m}$

The string is vibrating in its $1^{st}$ overtone

$\Rightarrow\lambda=1=2\text{m}$
$\Rightarrow\text{f}=\frac{\text{v}}{\lambda}=100\text{Hz}$

The stationary wave equation is given by

$\text{y}=2\text{A}\cos\frac{2\pi\text{x}}{\lambda}\sin\frac{2\pi\text{Vt}}{\lambda}$
$=(0.5\text{cm})\cos\big[(\pi\text{m}^{-1})\text{x}\big]\sin\big[(200\pi\text{s}^{-1})\text{t}\big]$

A sphere of mass $20\ kg$ is suspended by a metal wire of unstretched length $4m$ and diameter $1\ mm$. When in equilibrium, there is a clear gap of $2\ mm$ between the sphere and the floor. The sphere is gently pushed aside so that the wire makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical and is released. Find the maximum value of $\theta$ so that the sphere does not rub the floor. Young's modulus of the metal of the wire is $2.0 \times 10^{11}\ N/m^2$. Make appropriate approximations.
