Specific Energy or Energy Density in terms Wave Height Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Energy Density = (Mass Density*[g]*Wave Height^2)/8
U = (ρ*[g]*H^2)/8
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Energy Density - (Measured in Joule) - Energy Density is the amount of energy stored in a given system or region of space per unit volume.
Mass Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Mass Density is a physical quantity that represents the mass of a substance per unit volume.
Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height of a surface wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighboring trough.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass Density: 997 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 997 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Wave Height: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

U = (ρ*[g]*H^2)/8 --> (997*[g]*3^2)/8

Evaluating ... ...

U = 10999.38380625

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10999.38380625 Joule --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10999.38380625 ≈ 10999.38 Joule <-- Energy Density
