(b) Waves with period 10 s are propagating in a water depth of 100 m. A pressure transducer located 20 m below the still water level measures a maximum pressure of 215 kN/m2 under the waves. The seawater density is 1025 kg/m³. Estimate the wave height from this pressure measurement. If 5 kN/m2 is the lowest dynamic pressure that can be measured by the transducer, at what depth below the still water level would the transducer fail to detect the waves?
