Find the wave function for this wave.
A stretched string has a linear density of 5.0 g/cm and a tension of 200.0 N. A sinusoidal wave on this string is travelling in the negative direction of the x-axis with an amplitude of 2 m and a frequency of 5 Hz. When writing the displacement with a sine function, the phase constant is
rad.
Write the wave function for this wave.
