6. The rise and fall of the water level in a harbour is modelled as simple harmonic motion. On a particular day the maximum and minimum depths of water in the harbour are 10 m and 4 m and these occur at 1100 hours and 1700 hours respectively.
- Find the speed, in \(\mathrm { m } \mathrm { h } ^ { - 1 }\), at which the water level in the harbour is falling at 1600 hours on this particular day.
- Find the total time, between 1100 hours and 2300 hours on this particular day, for which the depth of water in the harbour is less than 5.5 m .
