${y} = 1.0 \, \text{mm} \cos(1.57 \, \text{cm}^{-1} x) \sin(78.5 \, \text{s}^{-1} t)$
The node closest to the origin in the region ${x} > 0$ will be at ${x} = \dots \, \text{cm}$.

$A$ standing wave exists in a string of length $150 \ cm$,which is fixed at both ends with rigid supports. The displacement amplitude of a point at a distance of $10 \ cm$ from one of the ends is $5\sqrt{3} \ mm$. The nearest distance between two points,within the same loop and having a displacement amplitude equal to $5\sqrt{3} \ mm$,is $10 \ cm$. Find the maximum displacement amplitude of the particles in the string (in $mm$).
