(3) You are sailing near the port of Sydney, Australia, located at 34°S, 151ºE and there is an easterly wind blowing at 12 miles per hour. The eddy viscosity is 0.1 m²s³¹ and Pocean is 1.02 × 10³ kg m³. Remember: pa= atmospheric density (1.2 kg/m³). What is the speed of the wind- generated surface current? Show all your work.
