$4\mathrm{.}6$ A wave of $10s$ period is propagating toward the rubble mound breakwater. The recording determined by the traversing pressure sensor is shown below. Calculate the rate $($per meter of width$)$ of energy dissipation by the breakwater. At what separation distance do the pressure maxima occur?
