Problema Solution

Suppose that a wave forms in shallow water. Then the depth d of the water (in meters) and the velocity v of the wave (in meters per second) are related by the equation v=√9.8d . If the wave formed in shallow water has a velocity of 4.7 meters per second, what is the water’s depth? Carry your intermediate computation to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer provided by our tutors

v=√(9.8d)

v = 4.7 m/s

d = ?

√(9.8d) = 4.7
