Answer

$10\;W$

Work Step by Step

The average rate at which energy is transported by the wave to the opposite end of the cord is given by $\Big(\frac{dK}{dt}\Big)_{avg}=\frac{1}{2}\mu v \omega^2 y_m^2$ or $\Big(\frac{dK}{dt}\Big)_{avg}=\frac{1}{2}\mu \sqrt {\frac{T}{\mu}} \omega^2 y_m^2$ or, $\Big(\frac{dK}{dt}\Big)_{avg}=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt {T\mu} \omega^2 y_m^2$ Substituting the given values $\Big(\frac{dK}{dt}\Big)_{avg}=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt {(1200\times2\times10^{-3})} \times(1200)^2\times(3\times10^{-3})^2$ or, $\Big(\frac{dK}{dt}\Big)_{avg}\approx10\;W$ $\therefore$ The average rate at which energy is transported by the wave to the opposite end of the cord is $10\;W$.
