One end of a long string of linear mass dnesity `8.0xx10^(-3)kgm^(-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 positive y-direction. The amplitude of the wave is 5.0 cm. Write down the transverse displacement y as function of x and t that describest the  wave on the string.
