14.Waves and Sound
medium
A transverse wave is passing through a stretched string with a speed of $20\ m/s.$ The tension in the string is $20\ N$. At a certain point $P$ on the string, it is observed that energy is being transferred at a rate of $40 \ mW$ at a given instant. Find the speed of point $P$.
A
$40\ cm/s$
B
$20\ cm/s$
C
$2\ mm/s$
D
$20\ mm/s$
Solution
$40 \times 10^{-3}=\mathrm{mv}_{\mathrm{p}}^{2} \mathrm{v}=50 \times 10^{-3} \times \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{p}}^{2} \times 20$
$\frac{4}{100}=v_{p}^{2} \Rightarrow 0.2 \mathrm{\,m} / \mathrm{s}=\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{p}}=20 \mathrm{\,cm} / \mathrm{s}$
