A transverse wave on a string is described by $y = 3\sin(36t + 0.018x + \pi/4)$, where $x, y$ are in cm and $t$ in seconds. The least distance between the two successive crests in the wave is _____ cm. (Nearest integer) ($\pi = 3.14$)
The time period of a simple harmonic oscillator is $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$. Measured value of mass $(m)$ of the object is 10 g with an accuracy of 10 mg and time for 50 oscillations of the spring is found to be 60 s using a watch of 2 s resolution. Percentage error in determination of spring constant $(k)$ is $\_\_\_\_$ \%.
Two waves of same frequency and amplitude travel in opposite directions. The resulting pattern is:
A spring-mass system oscillates with angular frequency ω. If the mass is doubled and the spring constant is halved, the new angular frequency is:
