The height in meters of the tide above the mean sea level on one day at Bal Harbour can be modelled by the function ht=3sin30°t, where t is the number of hours after midnight. A ship can cross the harbour if the tide is at least 2 m above the average sea level. Determine the time when it can cross the harbour.

A tsunami, or monster tidal wave can have a period anywhere between 10 minutes and 2 hours, with a wavelength well over 500 km. Because of its incredible destructive powers, warning systems have been developed in regions where tsunamis are most likely to happen. A particular tsunami to hit a coastal town in Japan had a period of about quarter of an hour. The normal ocean depth in this town was 9 m, and a tsunami of amplitude 10 mhit the coast. Write a sinusoidal function to describe the relationship of the depth of water and time, given  that when t=0, the sinusoidal function is at minimum. Use this function to predict the depth of the water after 10 minutes.
