Tsunami Waves and BreakwatersThis is a continuation of Exercise 16. Breakwaters affect wave height by reducing energy. See Figure 5.30. If a tsunami wave of height H in a channel of width W encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to a width w, then the height h of the wave beyond the breakwater is given by h=HR0.5, where R is the width ratio R=w/W. a. Suppose a wave of height 8 feet in a channel of width 5000feet encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to 3000feet. What is the height of the wave beyond the breakwater? b. If a channel width is cut in half by a breakwater, what is the effect on wave height? 16. Height of Tsunami WavesWhen waves generated by tsunamis approach shore, the height of the waves generally increases. Understanding the factors that contribute to this increase can aid in controlling potential damage to areas at risk. Greens law tells how water depth affects the height of a tsunami wave. If a tsunami wave has height H at an ocean depth D, and the wave travels to a location with water depth d, then the new height h of the wave is given by h=HR0.25, where R is the water depth ratio given by R=D/d. a. Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water 25feet deep if its height is 3feet at its point of origin in water 15,000feet deep. b. If water depth decreases by half, the depth ratio R is doubled. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected?
The construction cost C is directly proportional to the material input (M) and the square of investment (I) and conversely proportional to the labor input (L). Supposing C = 18, when M = 2, I = 6, and L = 4 all in million pesos units, what will be the construction cost in million pesos when L = 6, I = 4, and M = 3?
A car-detailing service estimates that its daily cost of waxing q cars is C(q) = 0.04q2 + 37q + 350. If the service collects $60 for each car waxing, find the number of cars the service should wax daily in order to maximize profit.
A power line is to be constructed from a power station at point A to an island at point C, which is 3 mi directly out in the water from point B on the shore. Point B is 4 mi downshore from the power station at A. It costs $3300 per mile to lay the power line under water and $2000 per mile to lay at the line under grount. At what point S downshore from A should the line come to the shore in order to minimize cost? Note that S could very well be B or A. (Hint. The lenght of CS is square root of 9+x^2). S is _____ miles from A.

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 2 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refinery to storage tanks located on the south bank of the river 4 km east of the refinery. The cost of laying pipe is $200,000/km over land to a point P on the north bank and $400,000/km under the river to the tanks. To minimize the cost of the pipeline, how far from the refinery should P be located? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
An oil refinery is located 1 km north of the north bank of a straight river that is 3 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refinery to storage tanks located on the south bank of the river 6 km east of the refinery. The cost of laying pipe is $200,000/km over land to a point P on the north bank and $400,000/km under the river to the tanks.
