Solve the all parts of given question:

Question: A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.10s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.600m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.50m apart.

Part I: How fast are the waves traveling?

Part II: What is the amplitude A of each wave?

I need the right answer and steps of solve this question. Thanks!
