Problem

A string clamped at both ends is vibrating. At the moment the string looks flat, the instantaneous transverse velocity of points along the string, excluding its end-points, must be (a) zero everywhere. (b) dependent on the location along the string. (c) not zero anywhere. (d) non-zero and in the same direction everywhere.
