Question

help please

Two traveling waves are generated on the same taut string. Individually, the two traveling waves can be described by the following two equations: y1(x,t) = (2.45 cm)sin(k1x+(0.348 rad/s)t+ phi1) y2(x,t)= (3.78 cm)sin(k2x -(4.54 rad/s)t+ phi2) If both of the above traveling waves exist on the string at the same time, what is the maximum positive displacement that a point on the string can ever have? What are the smallest positive values of the unknown phase constants (in radians) such that the above displacement occurs at the origin (x = 0) at time t = 3.66 s? phi1 = phi2 =

Explanation / Answer

a)

2.45 + 3.78 = 6.23 cm


b)

ph1 = 0.297 rad

ph2 = 18.2 rad
