Question

longitudinal wave travels on a slinky or any long spring. The wave is represented by the equation  x(x,t) =2.1 cmcos⁡(2000rad/st−40 m−1x) \mathrm{x}(\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{t}) =2.1 \mathrm{~cm} \cos \left(2000 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \mathrm{t}-40 \mathrm{~m}^{-1} \mathrm{x}\right) x(x,t) =2.1 cmcos(2000rad/st−40 m−1x)  . What is the direction of motion of a point on the spring due to the wave?
