Question:
Use Exercise 69 to do the following calculations.
a. Find the velocity of a wave where λ = 50 m and d = 20 m.
b. Determine the depth of the water if a wave with λ = 15 m is traveling at v = 4.5 m/s.
Data from Exercise 69
The velocity of a surface wave on the ocean is given by (Example 8). Use a graphing utility or root finder to approximate the wavelength λ of an ocean wave traveling at v = 7 m/s in water that is d = 10 m deep.
