waves - Using the equations y(x,t)=Asin(kxwt) and w=2pif, if we solve for amplitude could we determine a relationship between amplitude and frequency?


I'm reading all over the internet that there is no relationship between frequency and amplitude of a wave given the context of a simple experiment where a string is tied between two points and one of the points is made to oscillate with some frequency f. However, if we solve the first equation for amplitude we see that


y(x,t)sin(kxwt)=A


And knowing that w=2πf, couldn't we say that there is at least some sort of relationship between amplitude and frequency?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
