Scaling of String Power
Classical Mechanics
Level

An oscillating string carries a power \(P\) per unit time. If the length of the string is doubled (while keeping the mass of the string fixed) and the oscillations of the string are twice as rapid (while keeping the wave velocity constant), but the amplitude of oscillation is cut by a factor of 3, what is the new power carried by the oscillating string?
