Answer

$24\;m/s$

Work Step by Step

Given wave Eq. is $y=(0.10\;m)(\sin\frac{\pi x}{2})\sin12\pi t\;.................(1)$ From Eq. $1$, we obtain $k=\frac{\pi}{2}\;rad/m$ and $\omega=12\pi\;rad/s$ Therefore, the speed of the waves on the rope is $v=\frac{\omega}{k}$ or, $v=\frac{12\pi\times2}{\pi}\;m/s$ or, $\boxed{v=24\;m/s}$
