The equation of a travelling wave is $y = a \sin 2 \pi (p t - \frac{x}{5})$. Then the ratio of the maximum particle velocity to the wave velocity is ...........

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.
