Equation (1):

Where

a. Calculate the values of RHS and LHS of equation (1) for phase velocity C = 3,4; 3,6;
3,8; 4,0; 4,2; and 4,4 km/s and for periods T = 20, 35, 50, and 80 second.
b. Plot the corresponding values (vertical coordinate) as a function of phase velocity C
(horizontal coordinate). Draw two curves and find the phase velocity from the
intersection of the two curves (this gives the phase velocity of the fundamental mode).

Because the boundary condition of the equation is , so from the result, it
just has 2 points of intersection. The two points of intersection are came from the
intersection of RHS with LHS curve at period 20 second and the intersection between
RHS with LHS curve at period 35 second. The value of the intersection is:
T = 20 second
x (phase velocity): 3,97
y 1,36

T = 35 second
x (phase velocity):
4,36
y
0,7

So, the phase velocity of the fundamental mode are 3,97 km/s and 4,36 km/s.
