Distance from Bottom to Wave Trough Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Distance from the Bottom to the Wave Trough = Water Depth for Cnoidal Wave*((Distance from the Bottom to the Crest/Water Depth for Cnoidal Wave)-(Height of the Wave/Water Depth for Cnoidal Wave))
y_t = d_c*((y_c/d_c)-(H_w/d_c))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Distance from the Bottom to the Wave Trough - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from the Bottom to the Wave Trough is defined as the total stretch from the bottom to the trough of the wave.
Water Depth for Cnoidal Wave - (Measured in Meter) - Water Depth for Cnoidal Wave refers to the depth of the water in which the cnoidal wave is propagating.
Distance from the Bottom to the Crest - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from the Bottom to the Crest is defined as the total stretch from the bottom to the crest of the wave.
Height of the Wave - (Measured in Meter) - Height of the Wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighboring trough.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Water Depth for Cnoidal Wave: 16 Meter --> 16 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance from the Bottom to the Crest: 35 Meter --> 35 Meter No Conversion Required
Height of the Wave: 14 Meter --> 14 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

y_t = d_c*((y_c/d_c)-(H_w/d_c)) --> 16*((35/16)-(14/16))

Evaluating ... ...

y_t = 21

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

21 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

21 Meter <-- Distance from the Bottom to the Wave Trough

What Causes Waves?

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. ... The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth also causes waves.
