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 2πd tanh 2п (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.
