$A$ wave motion has the function $y = a_0 \sin(\omega t - kx)$. The graph in the figure shows how the displacement $y$ at a fixed point varies with time $t$. Which one of the labelled points shows a displacement equal to that at the position $x = \frac{\pi}{2k}$ at time $t = 0$?

$A$ transverse wave on a string is described by $y = 3 \sin(36t + 0.018x + \pi/4)$, where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and $t$ is in seconds. The least distance between two successive crests in the wave is . . . . . . $cm$. (Nearest integer) $(\pi = 3.14)$

One end of a long string of linear mass density $8.0 \times 10^{-3} \; kg \; m^{-1}$ is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency $256 \; Hz$. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of $90 \; kg$. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At $t=0$,the left end (fork end) of the string $x=0$ has zero transverse displacement $(y=0)$ and is moving along the positive $y$-direction. The amplitude of the wave is $5.0 \; cm$. Write down the transverse displacement $y$ as a function of $x$ and $t$ that describes the wave on the string.
