What is the velocity of the wave

Reference no: EM13343281

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically due to waves on the water. It takes a time of t = 2.1 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of d = 0.91 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of L = 6.30 m apart. What is the velocity of the wave?
