You are standing on the deck of a ship 20 miles off the coast of
Hawaii (in a water depth of 5000 m) observing waves. At 9:20 am,
you observe waves passing by your ship whose wavelengths are 145 m.
At 9:30 am, you observe waves passing by your ship whose
wavelengths are 135 m. If both sets of waves were generated by the
same storm, how far away is the storm?
