Wave Amplitude given Elevation of Water Surface Relative to SWL Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wave Amplitude = Elevation of Water Surface/cos(Theta)
a = η/cos(θ)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Wave Amplitude - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Amplitude is a measurement of the vertical distance of the wave from the average.
Elevation of Water Surface - (Measured in Meter) - Elevation of Water Surface relative to the SWL, Standing Water Level recorded for the water well.
Theta - (Measured in Radian) - Theta is an angle that can be defined as the figure formed by two rays meeting at a common endpoint.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Elevation of Water Surface: 0.18 Meter --> 0.18 Meter No Conversion Required
Theta: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

a = η/cos(θ) --> 0.18/cos(0.5235987755982)

Evaluating ... ...

a = 0.207846096908265

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.207846096908265 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.207846096908265 ≈ 0.207846 Meter <-- Wave Amplitude
