The company plans to use part of the rocky coast to harness wave power using oscillating water columns. The water depth is 3.61 m with waves that have a surface height of 0.480 m and a wave period of 5.20 s on average. The seawater density is 1029 kg/m2 The company wants the wave power facility to provide 50.0 kW on average, and it expects the oscillating water columns to be able to convert 25.3% of the oscillating water column's chamber input power to electricity. How much of the coastline (in units of meters) would the company need for this 50.0 KW wave power system? Hint: This is the width (b) of the set of oscillating water columns.
