Estimate how much work is done by the force of the wave

Reference no: EM13535930

The surfer is catching a wave. Suppose she starts at the top of the wave with a speed of 1.5 m/s and moves down the wave until her speed increases to 8.8 m/s. The drop in her vertical height is 2.5 m. If her mass is 59 kg, how much work is done by the (nonconservative) force of the wave?
