QUESTION:
Two pulses are moving in opposite directions at 1.0 cm/s on a taut string, as shown in ?Fig. E15.34?. Each square is 1.0 cm. Sketch the shape of the string at the end of (a) 6.0 s; (b) 7.0 s; (c) 8.0 s.
ANSWER:Solution 34E Step 1 of 5: According to principle of superposition, the net displacement is the algebraic sum of the displacements due to each pulse. The pulses interfere when they overlap but resume their original shape after they have completely passed through each other. The shape of the string at each specified time is shown in Figure
