Question

Required information An East Coast estuary has a tidal period of 24.42 h (the semidiurnal lunar tide) and tidal currents of approximately 200 cm/s. A one-five-hundredth-scale model is constructed with tides driven by a pump and storage apparatus. Determine the period of the model tides. The period of the model tides is ____ min.
