Detailed Solution

The wave speed on the string is v= T μ = 80.0N 5.00× 10 2 kg/m 1/2 =40.0m/s  
Because ϕ=60Hz  , the angular frequency ω  of the sinusoidal waves on the string has the value Question Image  Using these values in following equation for the power , with A=6.00× 10 2 m   gives p= 1 2 μ ω 2 A 2 v= 5.00× 10 2 kg/m 377 s 1 2 × 6.00× 10 2 m 2 (40.0m/s)=512W
