Two graphs of the same harmonic wave are shown below. The graph (1) on the left shows the displacement of wave y, as a function of position x for a given instant of time. The graph (2) on the right shows the displacement of wave as a function ot time 't' for a given position. The speed of the wave is
- 5.0 cms–1
- 0.5 cms–1
- 0.4 cms–1

One ice skater of mass m moves with speed 2v to the right, while another of the same mass m moves with speed v toward the left, as shown in figure I. Their paths are separated by a distance b. At t = 0, when they are both at x = 0, they grasp a pole of length b and negligible mass. For t > 0, consider the system as a rigid body of two masses m separated by distance b, as shown in figure II. Which of the following is the correct formula for the motion after t = 0 of the skater initially at y = b/2?
