 string, frequency, antinodes: string, frequency, antinodes:
-Adjacent antinodes are separated by a distance of 20 cm and waves travel at a speed of 1200 cm/s along the string. What frequency is the string vibrating at? 
  
 Ends of a stretched string are called nodes, N.  Ends of a stretched string are called nodes, N.

 full sine wave (2N) = wavelength full sine wave (2N) = wavelength
  
-wavelength = 40 cm +Example: 
-  freq = v/​wavelength,​ v = velocity of wave +  Adjacent antinodes are separated by a distance of 20 cm and waves travel at a speed of 1200 cm/s along the string.

 +====Spring and Lever====
 +**Hooke'​s law** for springs: F=-kx, k=spring constant, x = displacement
 +
 +**Fulcrum**:​ t = r * f  (torque = radius * force)
 +just add the torques for multiple objects on one side of a fulcrum
 +
 +====SHM - Simple Harmonic Motion====
 +F = ma => ma = -kx
 +
 +angular frequency ω = √(k/m)
 +
 +period of oscillation T = 2π √(m/​k) ​ (horizontal or vertical springs)
 +
 +In a vertical spring, the weight Mg of the body produces an initial elongation to equilibrium,​ such that Mg − kyₒ = 0.
 +
 +If y is the displacement from this equilibrium position the total restoring force will be Mg − k(yₒ + y) = −ky
