The wave is
at x=10 cm =0.1 m, we have:
differentiating this expression with respect to time, we get te velocity, v. Thus,
again differentiating the velocity, we get the acceleration, a. Thus,
Since the acceleration of any point is
which is the position of the point times a constant, it is a solution to the wave equation which says that
or
which is what our analysis tells us too.
