Problem

The displacement of a wave on a stretched string is described by y(x,t)=0.02sin⁡(5πx−150πt)y(x,t)=0.02\sin(5\pi x-150\pi t). Determine the speed vv at which the wave propagates along the string. (a) 94 m s−194\,\text{m s}^{-1} (b) 30 m s−130\,\text{m s}^{-1} (c) 15 m s−115\,\text{m s}^{-1} (d) 60 m s−160\,\text{m s}^{-1}
