g 2 2nd The velocity v (in m/s) of a surface wave on the ocean is given by v= tanhi , where g = 9.8 m/s is the acceleration due to gravity, is the wavelength measured in meters from crest to crest, and d is the depth of the undisturbed water, also measured in meters. Use a graphing utility or root finder to approximate the wavelength of an ocean wave traveling at v=3 m/s in water that is d=18 m deep. Substitute known values into the given equation to set up the equation that should be solved to find the wavelength of the ocean wave. (Type an equation. Type an exact answer.) g 2 2nd The velocity v (in m/s) of a surface wave on the ocean is given by v= tanhi , where g = 9.8 m/s is the acceleration due to gravity, is the wavelength measured in meters from crest to crest, and d is the depth of the undisturbed water, also measured in meters.
