The density, rho, of sea-water is 1.2 × 103 kg m−3. Using the expression Wave Power Equation, estimate the gravitational power per metre length available in a wave of height 0.60 m.

Respuesta :

Answer:

E = 529.2 Joules

Explanation:

The gravitational power can be calculated as:

[tex]E = \frac{\rho gA^{2} }{2}[/tex]

               Where ρ: Sea- water density

                           A: is the amplitude of the wave (that is to say half its height H)

                           g: the gravitational acceleration

Then

[tex]E = \frac{(1200)(9.8)(0.3^{2}) }{2}[/tex]

E = 529.2 Joules
