Particle accelerations in deep water

eqnarray348

eqnarray360

tex2html_wrap_inline1445

tex2html_wrap_inline1447

So:

eqnarray382

Deep Water

tex2html_wrap1455

For a particle at a fixed location tex2html_wrap_inline1449

eqnarray389

Acceleration vector magnitude:     tex2html_wrap_inline1451

Compare to centrifugal acceleration of particle tex2html_wrap_inline1453
