Two travelling waves of equal amplitudes and equal frequencies move in opposite directions along a string. They interfere to produce a stationary wave whose equation is given by $y = (10 \cos \pi x \sin \frac{2 \pi t}{T}) \, cm$. The amplitude of the particle at $x = \frac{4}{3} \, cm$ will be ........ $cm$.
