Specific Energy or Energy Density given Wave Height Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Energy Density of Wave = (Density of Fluid*[g]*Wave Height^2)/8
U = (ρ*[g]*H^2)/8
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Energy Density of Wave - (Measured in Joule per Cubic Meter) - Energy Density of Wave is the amount of energy the wave carries per unit volume or unit area of the medium through which it propagates.
Density of Fluid - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Fluid is the mass of fluid per unit volume of the fluid.
Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height of a surface wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighboring trough.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Density of Fluid: 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Wave Height: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

U = (ρ*[g]*H^2)/8 --> (1.225*[g]*3^2)/8

Evaluating ... ...

U = 13.51478953125

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

13.51478953125 Joule per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

13.51478953125 ≈ 13.51479 Joule per Cubic Meter <-- Energy Density of Wave
