A string oscillates according to the equation y=(0.50cm)sin[(π3cm1)x]cos[(40πs1)t]. What is the amplitude?

Open in App
Solution

Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.

We know that the maximum value of sin and cos function is 1.

Hence, maximum value of y is 0.50cm

Hence, amplitude A=0.50cm
