5sec sinusoidal wave is propagating in deep water. Find the velocity vector and pressure (difference from hydrostatic in the absence of the wave) at a distance = 10m from the crest, depth of 1m and the time t=3 sec.
x=10 m, z= -1m, t=3 sec

We are asking for 1,025 x 9.81 x x (-0.5565) x 0.85 = -475.6 Pa
Note that 1,025 x 9.81 x x 0.85 =
854.7 Pa
Q: What if we were asking to find the same quantities when the trough of the wave was passing above point A?
A: In this case
