Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A vibrating string of length L has an initial displacement described by f(x). If the tension in the string is T and linear density is ρ, find the expressions for kinetic and potential energy over its length.
💡 Hint: Use the definitions of kinetic and potential energy in the context of differential energy.
Discuss how energy conservation would be affected if damping is introduced to the vibrating string. Provide examples.
💡 Hint: Consider practical examples like the damping in bridges and how it helps in energy dissipation.
