In shallow water, surface waves travel with a speed which only depends on theacceleration due to gravity and the depth of the water, v=kg^(a)d^(b), where k is adimensionless constant while a and b are numerical exponents. Determine the specific formula for v by finding the values of a and b which match the dimensions (i.e., units) on both sides of the equation.
