the bottom profile normal to the shore off a section of the coast has the following average depths (in m) at the given segment distance lengths (in nautical miles): 2.7 m (3 n.m.), 3.8 m (7 n.m.), 4 m (10 n.m.), 11 m (20 n.m.), 12.2 m (30 n.m.), 15.5 m (40 n.m.), 27 m (50 n.m.), 48 m (60 n.m.), 73 m (70 n.m.), and 200 m (80 n.m.). there is a sustained wind blowing directly onshore at an average speed of 72 knots. calculate the wind-induced setup at the shore. note: to solve this problem you can assume a flat bottom in each segment (we covered this solution in class) and march your solution from offshore to onshore through each segment just like a simple computer storm surge model would. keep in mind that as you march your solution shoreward, the water level in each segment is influenced by the water level from the previous one.
