Two boats - Boat A and Boat B - are anchored a

distance of 4.1 meters apart. The incoming water
waves force the boats to oscillate up and down,
making five complete cycles every 26.1 seconds.
When Boat A is at its peak, Boat B is at its low point.
There are never any waves between the two boats.
The vertical distance between Boat A and Boat B at
their extreme is 6.9 meters. Determine the wavelength
(in meters), frequency (in Hertz), and speed (in
meters/second) of the wave. (HINT: begin with a
diagram.)
