Question
A transverse harmonic wave on a string is described by
$\text{y}(\text{x, t})=3.0\sin\big(36\text{t}+0.018\text{x}+\frac{\pi}{4}\big)$
where x and y are in cm and t in s. The positive direction of x is from left to right.
What is the initial phase at the origin?

Answer

$\frac{\pi}{4}$
Explanation:
Given,
$\text{y}(\text{x, t})=3\sin\big(36\text{t}+0.018\text{x}+\frac{\pi}{4}\big)$
Initial phase at the origi $=\frac{\pi}{4}$

A man is standing on top of a building 100m high. He throws two balls vertically, one at t = 0 and other after a time interval (less than 2 seconds). The later ball is thrown at a velocity of half the first. The vertical gap between first and second ball is +15m at t = 2s. The gap is found to remain constant. Calculate the velocity with which the balls were thrown and the exact time interval between their throw.
