How much work is done by the force of the wave

Reference no: EM13311960

The surfer in the photo is catching a wave. Suppose she starts at the top of the wave with a speed of 1.50 m/s and moves down the wave until her speed reaches 9.05 m/s. The drop in her vertical height is 1.55 m. If her mass is 54.1 kg, how much work is done by the (non-conservative) force of the wave?
