A standing wave is formed by the superposition of two waves travelling in opposite directions. The transverse displacement is given by $y\left( {x,t} \right) = 0.5\sin\, \left( {\frac{{5\pi }}{4}x} \right)\,\cos\, \left( {200\,\pi t} \right)$. What is the speed of the travelling wave moving in the positive $x$ direction .... $m/s$ ? ($x$ and $t$ are in meter and second, respectively.)

    A wire of $10^{-2} kgm^{-1}$ passes over a frictionless light pulley fixed on the top of a frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal. Masses $m$ and $M$ are tied at two ends of wire such that m rests on the plane and $M$ hangs freely vertically downwards. The entire system is in equilibrium and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of $100 ms^{^{-1}}$.
