Question
A transverse sinusoidal wave on a string is moving in the −x-direction. Its speed is 30.0 m/s, and its period is 17.0 ms. At 
t = 0,
 a colored mark on the string at 
x = 0
 has a vertical position of 2.00 cm and is moving down with a speed of 1.50 m/s.
(b)
What is the phase constant (in rad)?
(c)
What is the maximum transverse speed of the string (in m/s)?
(d)
Write the wave function for the wave. (Use the form 
A sin(kx + ωt + ϕ).
 Assume that y and x are in m and t is in s. Do not include units in your answer.)
