- 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_forwardb) Find the order of Z=0 for the following functions: 3) (e²²-1-7²) Sin³zarrow_forwardA 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_forward
- For f(t) = 12 sin(450 t) + 10 cos (300 t) Find F(s):arrow_forwardA skydiver weighing 120kg drops vertically from a jet flying at 4.000m. Assume the force due to air resistance to be proportional to the velocity of the skydiver, with the proportionality constant b1= 20 N⋅sec/m before the cute is opened, and b2= 100 N⋅sec/m after the chute is opened. If the skydiver opens the chute after 60 seconds of free fall, find: a. The total amount of time elapsed between dropping out of the plane and landing. b. The velocity of the skydiver at the instant of landing on the ground.arrow_forward
