A circular loop of string rotates about its axis on a frictionless horizontal plane at a uniform rate so that the tangential speed of any particle of the string is v. If a small transverse disturbance is produced at a point of the loop, with what speed (relative to the string) will this disturbance travel on the string?

A sinusoidal transverse wave having wave equation is y=asin(kx-ωt) is travelling on a stretched long string. The linear mass density (mass per unit length of the string) is \mu. Considering the amplitude of the wave small, take a small element of length Δx on the string at x=0, calculate the elastic potential energy stored in the element at time t=0. Also find the kinetic energy of the element at t=0.

A transverse harmonic wave is propagating along a taut string. Tension in the string is 50 N and its linear mass density is 0.02 kg m-1. The string is driven by a 80 Hz oscillator tied to one end oscillating with an amplitude of 2 mm. The other end of the string is terminated so that all the wave energy is absorbed and there is no reflection. Calculate the power of the oscillator.
