Problem

The displacement of air particles in a sound wave is given by y(x,t)=0.04sin⁡(3x+150t+π/6)y(x,t)=0.04\sin(3x+150t+\pi/6) (SI units). What is the maximum magnitude of the particle acceleration? (a) 600 m s−2600\,\text{m\,s}^{-2} (b) 3600 m s−23600\,\text{m\,s}^{-2} (c) 900 m s−2900\,\text{m\,s}^{-2} (d) 225 m s−2225\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}
