The equation of a standing wave in a string is \(y = (200~\text{m})\sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{50}x\right)\cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{0.01}t\right)\) where \(x\) is in metres and \(t\) is in seconds. At the position of antinode, how many times does the distance of a string particle become \(200~\text{m}\) from its mean position in one second?
| 1. | \(100~\text{times}\) | 2. | \(50~\text{times}\) |
| 3. | \(200~\text{times}\) | 4. | \(400~\text{times}\) |
