Question 1.
What is Bernoulli’s equation used for?
Show hintHide hint
Remember, it relates pressure with fluid motion.
Question 2.
What is the basic formula for calculating potential energy of waves?
Show hintHide hint
Think about energy related to wave height.
3Question 3.
What is the relationship between static and dynamic pressure?
- Static pressure is always greater than dynamic
- Dynamic pressure measures wave motion
- Both are equal
Show hintHide hint
Think about how gravity influences both pressures.
4Question 4.
Group velocity in deep water is typically how much compared to phase velocity?
- Equal to phase velocity
- Half the phase velocity
- Double the phase velocity
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on the relationship defined earlier.
Question 5.
Calculate the pressure at a depth of 3 meters for a wave with a wave height of 1.5 meters using the pressure distribution equation.
Show hintHide hint
Consider both dynamic motion and hydrostatic pressure.
Question 6.
Explain how group celerity changes with varying wave periods and lengths and derive a formula connecting these variables.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the superposition principles and their collective impact.
