The speed of a wave during a tsunami can be calculated with the formula
where
S=square root of 19.812
s represents speed in meters per second, d represents the depth of the water in meters where
the disturbance (for example earthquake) takes place, and 9.81 m/s2 is the acceleration due to
gravity. If the speed of the wave is 150 m/s, what is the approximate depth of the water where
the disturbance took place?
