In the figure shown A and B are two ends of a string of length 100 m. S1 and S2 are two sources due to which points A and B oscillate in y and z directions respectively according to the equation y=2sin(100πt+30°) and z=3sin (100πt+60°) where t is in sec and y is in mm. The speed of propagation of disturbance along the string is 50 m s-1. Find the instantaneous position vector (in mm) and velocity vector in (m s-1) of a particle P of string which is at 25 m from A. You have to find these parameters after both the disturbances from S1 and S2 have reached P. Also find the phase difference between the waves at the point P when they meet at P first time.
