Review Conceptual Example 3 before starting this problem. A horizontal wire is under a tension of 315 N and has a mass per unit length of 6.50×10–3 kg/m. A transverse wave with an amplitude of 2.50 mm and a frequency of 585 Hz is traveling on this wire. As the wave passes, a particle of the wire moves up and down in simple harmonic motion. Obtain (a) the speed of the wave and (b) the maximum speed with which the particle moves up and down.
