Question

A rectangular pulse (height 1 cm, from x = − 2 to 0 cm) moves right at 1 cm/s and a triangular pulse (base 2 to 4 cm, peak 2 cm at x = 3 ) moves left at 1 cm/s. At t = 2 s the maximum displacement of the string is:

TestHub · Accepted Answer

At t = 2 s the rectangle spans 0 to 2 cm and the triangle spans 0 to 2 cm with its peak at x = 1 . At x = 1 : 1 + 2 = 3 cm. This is the maximum.
