<PRE><B>Question 1026265</B>
Use the formula V = 15/22&amp;#8730;gd to determine the depth of the water for tsunami wave starveling at the given speeds. (V is the wave&#39;s speed in miles per hour, g is the gravitational acceleration of 32 ft/sec^2, and d is the depth of the water in feet.) 
QUESTION: 
180 mi/hr 
---------
180 = (15/22)sqrt(32*d)
32*22 = sqrt(32d)
----
32d = 704^2
---
d = 15488 ft
