A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.70 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.600m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 8.00 m apart.
How fast are the waves traveling?  

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.
