Question
Here is the question:
A uniform string of length I, tension T, and mass per unit length p, is stretched between two massless rings, attached to its ends, which slide (in the y-direction) along frictionless rods. Demonstrate that, in this case, the most general solution to the wave equation takes the form where , and Y0, V0, An, and phi n are arbitrary constants. Show that where n and n are integers. Use this result to demonstrate that the arbitrary constants in the above solution can be determined from the initial conditions as follows: where , and Suppose that the string is initially in its equilibrium state. At t = 0 it is struck by a hammer in such a manner as to impart an impulsive velocity uo to a small segment of length aExplanation / Answer
