v = \sqrt \frac {F}{\mu} = 5 m/s

P = \frac{1}{2} \mu v (\omega A)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} X 1 X 5 (1 X 10 ^{-2}) ^{2} = 2.5 X 10 ^{-4} W

 

Rate of energy transfer on string by sinusiodal wave -

\rho = \frac{1}{2}\mu \omega ^{2}A^{2}V
 

- wherein

\mu = linear mass density

\omega = angular frequency

A = Amplitude

V = Wave speed
