A wave on a very long rope (a transverse wave) has an amplitude A, phase angle of o and speed v of 20 m/s. A point on the rope at position x and time t is observed to have a displacement of -30.0 cm with transverse acceleration 3.40 m/s. Use this information to determine its wavelength (m). Give answer to two places to the right of the decimal.
