a) Average-Value = 1/2 * (High-Val + Low-Val) = 1/2 * (5.55+1.00) = 3.275
The Maxima occurs at 1 am and the minima occurs at 1 pm, which means in the 12 hour gap, the cos function value will change from 0 to pi.
Hence for each hour, the value must be pi/12
t-1 must be present, because the maxima is coming at t=1 am, which represent 1 hour and maxima is coming at 13 hours, which is 1 pm
Hence the equation is justifying all the values
b)
At 2:55 pm, the value of t will be 14 + 55/60 (since 1 hour contains 60 minutes)
Hence the height of the tide will be 1.2805m
c)
Hence the first time will be 5 am + 0.309 * 60 = 5 hr 18.54 mins am
The next time will be 2*pi - 4.309*pi/12, which will be 1.6408
(t-1) = 12 * 1.6408
t = 20.68
which represents the time of 8 hours 40 min pm
7. High tide in Lake Ontario is 5.55 m high and occurs at 1 am. Low tide is 1.00 m high and occur...
1. You are on the beach in Wasaga Beach, Ontario. At 2:00 PM on June 15th, the tide is high. At that time you find that the depth at the end of the pier is 1.5 meters. At 8:00 pm the same day, the tide is low, and you find that the depth of the water is 1.1 meters. Assuming the depth of the water varies sinusoidally with time: a) Identify the key features of the sinusoidal function, and use...
High tide occurs at 8:00AM and is 1m above sea level. Six hours later, low tide is 1m below sea level. After another 6h, high tide occurs (again 1m above sea level), then finally one last low tide (6h later, 1m below sea level). (a) write a mathematical expression that would predict the level of the ocean at this beach at any time of day. (b) Find the times in the day when the ocean level is exactly at sea...
Tides are cyclical phenomena caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon. On a particular retaining wall, the ocean generally reaches the 3 m mark at high tide. At low tide, the water reaches the 1 m mark. Assume that high tide occurs at 12:00 p.m. and at 12:00 a.m., and that low tide occurs at 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. What is the height of the water at 10:30 a.m.? https://gyazo.com/baa597e87fe32170ec4f7ea775182860
3. The depth of the water (in meters) at a certain pier is given by the equation: d)2+ sint, where t is the number of hours after 10:00 AM. 2 a) How deep will the water be at high tide, and at low tide? b) Mid-tide occurs when the height of the water is exactly midway between the high and low tides. Counting time after 10:00 AM, what are the first two times when it is mid-tide? c) How many...
