Question 1

A wave travels at a speed of 6 m/s in a channel. If the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s², calculate the depth of the water.

💡 Hint: Use the wave speed formula provided.

Question 2

If a certain channel has a depth of 4 meters and the speed of small amplitude waves is calculated as 7 m/s, find the value of gravitational acceleration assumed during this calculation.

💡 Hint: Think about how to isolate the gravitational acceleration from the formula.
