What is the angular velocity of the waves?

What is the wave phase at the time of the second observation [0...2 pi]?

A fisher has anchored her 11 m long boat far away from the shore. The waves in the water cause the boat to rock, and the boat
performs 12 vertical oscillations within 9 s. The wave crests travel from bow (front) to stern (back) of the boat in 3 s. She notes
that at time t = 0 the bow of the boat is at the top of a wave. She then observes the wave phase at bow again at t = 1 s
What is the period of waves?
T = 0.75
S
Your last answer was interpreted as follows: 0.75
What is the wavelength?
λ = 2.75
m
Your last answer was interpreted as follows: 2.75
What is the number of complete waves that fits in the length of the boat simultaneously?
nwaves = 4.00
Your last answer was interpreted as follows: 4.00
What is the angular velocity of the waves?
rad
@=
S
What is the wave phase at the time of the second observation [0...2 pi]?
