A model of a harbor is made on the length ratio of 360:1. Storm waves of 2 m amplitude and 8 m/s velocity occur on the breakwater of the prototype harbor. Significant variables are the length scale, velocity, and g, the acceleration of gravity. The scaling of time can be made with the aid of the length scale and velocity scaling factors.
a. Neglecting friction, what should be the size and speed of the waves in the model?
b. If the time between tides in the prototype is 12 h, what should be the tidal period in the model?
