Transverse displacement, tricky MC

[K3nt70]

Homework Statement

The transverse displacement of a streched string from equilibrium as a function of time and position is given by:
y=0.13cos(3x+27t). x and y are in m; t is in s.
(Select T-True, F-False, G-Greater than, L-Less than, E-Equal to, If the first is T and the rest F, enter
TFFF).

A) The speed of the wave is ... 8 m/s
B) The wavelength is ... 1 m
C) The wave moves in the positive x direction
D) The period is ... 0.1 s

Homework Equations

The only one i was able to solve for was D, using

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

The Attempt at a Solution

Solving for T: T= 2pi/27 gives T= 0.23 s. This designates D as G (greater than).
I can't really figure out how we get the others from T... My main problem is Finding velocity. If i find velocity, i can find the rest. My secondary problem is finding out the direction of the wave.

p.s. even my tutor couldn't get this one.

Compare your particular wave form to the standard one:
y = A\cos(kx -\omega t)

Got it worked out, thanks. My problem was not recognizing what k was in this situation (angular wave number).
