Test 2 Prep Question

I was looking through the test 2 questions in preparation for the test, and for the most part, they were pretty straight forward, however I came across this problem or a variation of it several times:
Beads, each with mass 5.5 grams, are located at a spacing of 7 cm along a light but strong string. At t = 0 bead A is moving in the y direction at -.3715 m/s, and this bead is at at y position .0014 meters, while the bead to its right is at y position .001 meters and the bead to its left at y position .0024 meters. The string tension is 11 Newtons, and the string lies along the x axis.
Find:
the acceleration of the given bead
its approximate velocity .049 seconds later and
the distance it will move in the .049 seconds.
I don't know how much you are allowed to help me with this, but could you give me a hint or point me toward a similar sample problem so that I can try and reason it out? I know that it must have to do something with the general wave form equation but beyond that I can't figure out how to incorporate the beads. Thank you very much.

The material for that question has apparently been separated in the process of redesigning the web page, so the question won't be counted on this test.
