A horizontal stretched string, fixed at two ends, is vibrating in its fifth harmonic according to the equation, $y(x$, $t )=(0.01 \ m ) \sin \left[\left(62.8 \ m ^{-1}\right) x \right] \cos \left[\left(628 s ^{-1}\right) t \right]$. Assuming $\pi=3.14$, the correct statement$(s)$ is (are) :

$(A)$ The number of nodes is $5$ .

$(B)$ The length of the string is $0.25 \ m$.

$(C)$ The maximum displacement of the midpoint of the string its equilibrium position is $0.01 \ m$.

$(D)$ The fundamental frequency is $100 \ Hz$.
