A transverse wave on a string is described by the following equation.
y(x, t) = (0.35 m) sin[(1.25 rad/m)x + (92.8 rad/s)t]
Consider the element of the string at x = 0.
(a) What is the time interval between the first two instants when this element has a position of y = 0.303 m?

(b) What distance does the wave travel during this time interval?
