A wave on the ocean surface with wavelength 44 m travels


A wave on the ocean surface with wavelength 44 m travels east at a speed of 18 m/s relative to the ocean floor. If, on this stretch of ocean, a powerboat is moving at 14 m/s (relative to the ocean floor), how often does the boat encounter a wave crest, if the boat is traveling (a) west, and (b) east?
