Answer

The amplitude must be 4.10 mm

Work Step by Step

We can find the angular frequency. $\omega = 2\pi~f$ $\omega = (2\pi)~(69.0~Hz)$ $\omega = 433.5~rad/s$ We can find the linear mass density of the wire. $v = \sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\mu}}$ $\mu = \frac{F_T}{v^2}$ $\mu = \frac{94.0~N}{(406~m/s)^2}$ $\mu = 5.70\times 10^{-4}~kg/m$ We can find the required amplitude. $P_{av} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\mu~F_T}~\omega^2~A^2$ $A^2 = \frac{2~P_{av}}{\sqrt{\mu~F_T}~\omega^2}$ $A = \sqrt{\frac{2~P_{av}}{\sqrt{\mu~F_T}~\omega^2}}$ $A = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(0.365~W)}{\sqrt{(5.70\times 10^{-4}~kg/m)(94.0~N)}~(433.5~rad/s)^2}}$ $A = 0.00410~m$ $A = 4.10~mm$ The amplitude must be 4.10 mm
