- Tsunami Waves and BreakwatersThis is a continuation of Exercise 16. Breakwaters affect wave height by reducing energy. See Figure 5.30. If a tsunami wave of height H in a channel of width W encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to a width w, then the height h of the wave beyond the breakwater is given by h=HR0.5, where R is the width ratio R=w/W. a. Suppose a wave of height 8 feet in a channel of width 5000feet encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to 3000feet. What is the height of the wave beyond the breakwater? b. If a channel width is cut in half by a breakwater, what is the effect on wave height? 16. Height of Tsunami WavesWhen waves generated by tsunamis approach shore, the height of the waves generally increases. Understanding the factors that contribute to this increase can aid in controlling potential damage to areas at risk. Greens law tells how water depth affects the height of a tsunami wave. If a tsunami wave has height H at an ocean depth D, and the wave travels to a location with water depth d, then the new height h of the wave is given by h=HR0.25, where R is the water depth ratio given by R=D/d. a. Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water 25feet deep if its height is 3feet at its point of origin in water 15,000feet deep. b. If water depth decreases by half, the depth ratio R is doubled. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected?arrow_forwardAn amusement park has two ferris wheels that both load passengers at the bottom, 3 m above the ground. Both wheels require 40 seconds to complete one revolution. The larger ferris wheel has a diameter of 25 m and the smaller ferris wheel has a diameter of 10 m. The height of a passenger on each wheel can be expressed in the form h(t) = a cos[b(tc)] + d, where h(t) is the height above the ground in metres t seconds after the ride begins. 25 m 3m 14 O a and b O a and d TOT Ob and c Oc and d 10 m 3 m A 76 If the ferris wheels have the same period of rotation, then the two parameters that must be the same in the two functions are Groundarrow_forwardFind the speed at the given value of t. r(t) = (sin(3t), cos(6t), cos(7t)), t = %3D (플) = 프2arrow_forward

The volume of the lungs normally varies between 2200 ml and 2800 ml with a breathing rate of 21 breaths/min. This exchange of air is called the tidal volume. One approximation for the volume of air in the lungs uses the cosine function written in the following manner: V(t)=A+Bcos(ωt) where A, B, and ω are constants and t is in minutes. Use the data above to create a model, finding the constants. How do I find these consonants?arrow_forward
- A wrecking ball attached to a crane may be thought of as a pendulum. The period of such a pendulum is given (in seconds) by: 11 1 P = 4k √ √1-a²sin²x dx where: a-sin (8/2) e is the angle of the swing (measured in radians from the rest position). k = ,r is the length of the cable holding the ball, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Find the period when the following values for 0 = 45°, r = 15 meters, and g= 9.81 m/s². Use Simpson's Rule with 13 panels. Take e = 0.0001. Express the answer with four decimal places.arrow_forwardA man and his parachute weigh 160 lbs and fall from rest to the ground. Before he parachute opens, air resistance (in pounds) is numerically equal to 1/2v (where v is the instantaneous velocity in ft/s) and, from the moment it opens, the resistance is 5/8 v2. If the parachute opens at 5 s, calculate the skydiver's velocity at any second t: a) Before opening the parachute. b) Find the distance he has fallen before the parachute opens. c) After opening the parachute. topic: ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONSarrow_forwardThe number of hours of daylight each day for a particular city can be modeled using the sinusoidal function s(m)=5sin(2π/12m−π/2)+13 , where s is the number of hours of sunlight per day, and m represents the month of the year, with m=1 corresponding to January, m=2 corresponding to February, etc. What is the number of hours of daylight in the longest day of the year?
