Two waves moving in opposite directions produce a standing wave. The individual wave functions are: y1(x, t) = 5 sin (5x – 10t) y2(x, t) = 5 sin (5x + 10t) where x and y are in meters and t in seconds.

A. What is the amplitude of the simple harmonic motion of the element of the medium located at x = 5 m?

B. What is the position of the first anti-node if one end of the string is at x = 0 m?
