b). Find the period of the wave motion.----s

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and downperiodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on thesurface of the water. It takes a time of 2.70 s for the boat totravel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of0.680 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced ahorizontal distance of 6.50 m apart.

How fast are the waves traveling?
Express the speed v in meters per second using three significantfigures.

What is the amplitude A of each wave?
