Problem

At t = 0, three successive crests on a stretched string are located at x = 1.1 m, 3.5 m and 5.9 m. At the point x = 0.5 m, successive troughs are observed at t = 0.12 s, 0.32 s and 0.52 s. Assuming a progressive sinusoidal wave, determine its speed. (a) 6  m s−16\;\text{m s}^{-1} (b) 12  m s−112\;\text{m s}^{-1} (c) 8  m s−18\;\text{m s}^{-1} (d) 10  m s−110\;\text{m s}^{-1}
