Vibrations of Strings - Homework I

This document contains homework problems and solutions related to vibrations of strings. The first problem asks the student to determine the expression for amplitudes of Cn and plot the resulting waveform when a string is plucked at L/4 and released. The second problem asks the student to do the same when a string is struck with initial velocity between 3L/8 and 5L/8. The answers provide the initial conditions, derivations of the solutions as a series, and plots of the waveforms using the first ten values of Cn.

PROBLEMS
1-) A stretched string of length L is plucked at the position L/4 by producing an initial displacement h and then released. Determine the expression fort he amplitudes of Cn and plot the resulting wave form at representative values of time between t=0 and t=L/c, using the series expressions resulting from the first ten values of Cn.

2-)

A stretched string of length L is struck with an initial velocity of V0

between 3L/8 and 5L/8. Determine the expression fort he amplitudes of Cn and plot the resulting wave forms at representative values of time between t=0 and t=L/c, using the series expressions resulting from the first ten values of Cn.
