Chapter , Problem 82

(choose chapter or problem)

A continuous sinusoidal longitudinal wave is sent along a very long coiled spring from an attached oscillating source. The wave travels in the negative direction of an x axis; the source frequency is 25 Hz; at any instant the distance between successive points of maximum expansion in the spring is 24 cm; the maximum longitudinal displacement of a spring particle is 0.30 cm; and the particle at x # 0 has zero displacement at time t # 0. If the wave is written in the form s(x, t) # sm cos(kx ! vt), what are (a) sm, (b) k, (c) v, (d) the wave speed, and (e) the correct choice of sign in front of v?
