On a particular Labor Day, the high tide in Southern California occurs at 7:12 A.M. At that time you measure the water at the end of the Santa Monica Pier to be 11 ft deep. At 1:24 P.M. it is low tide, and you measure the water to be only 7 ft deep. Assume the depth of the water is a sinusoidal function of time with a period of 1/2 a lunar day, which is about 12 hr 24 min.
