Two waves, y1(x,t) and y2(x,t), travel on the same piece of rope and combine to produce a resultant wave of the form y(x,t) = 8.000 sin(4.000x + 1.000t + 0)cos(1.000x + 3.000t + 0). The first wave is y1(x, t ) = 4.000 sin(3.000x + (-2.000)t), while the second wave has the form y2(x, t ) = A sin(kx ± ωt+ϕ), where x is measured in m and t in seconds. Determine the values of the constants in the second wave:

  1. A =

  2. k =

  3. ω =

  4. The sign in front of ω (+ or -)
