c. A deep-water wave of period 8.5 sec and a height of 5m is travelling to the shoreline over a sandy seabed of slope 1:100. Assuming that the seabed contours are parallel, find the height and depth of the wave when it breaks. At the break point, KR is expected to be 0.88. Only carry out one iteration.

Question
c. A deep-water wave of period 8.5 sec and a height of 5m is travelling to
the shoreline over a sandy seabed of slope 1:100. Assuming that the
seabed contours are parallel, find the height and depth of the wave
when it breaks. At the break point, Kr is expected to be 0.88. Only
carry out one iteration.
d. In the case of closed basins, derive the formula relating the wave
period to the basin length. Sketch the first three modes. Find the
fundamental period of oscillation of a lake whose mean depth is 18 m
and whose length is 120 km.
