sinusoidal wave propagation
probably easy question
a sinusoidal wave is propagating along a string in the +x direction. 10 waves pass by a point every 10 microseconds. the wave exhibits the following characteristics: a) at t=0 and x=0 , the wave propagation speed is 30 m/s, and the Oscillation speed is 2.5 mm/s in the Y direction. b) at t=0 and x=0 the wave has a transverse displacement of 1.5mm using y(x,t) = A sin (kx-wt - phi) determine: amplitude of oscillation (couldnt do) phase shift (dont know if there is one) wavelength and the complete equation for the wave any help would be great, its really easy, I am just drawing a blank for some reason.

never mind got it, didnt find phase shift tho, I looked at the problem a little more in depth

yeah too bad that this is actually a college question for physics with thermodynamics.
