QUESTION:

Interference of Rectangular Pulses. Figure E15.35 shows two rectangular wave pulses on a stretched string traveling toward each other. Each pulse is traveling with a speed of 1.00 mm/s and has the height and width shown in the figure. If the leading edges of the pulses are 8.00 mm apart at \(t=0\), sketch the shape of the string at and \(t=4.00\) s, \(\(t=6.00\)) s, \(\(t=10.0\)\) s.
