Prince Rupert, BC has the deepest natural harbour in North America. The depth, d, in metres, of the berths for
the ships can be approximated by the equation d (t ) = 8cos t + 12 , where t is the time, in hours, after the first

high tide.
c. An ocean liner requires a minimum of 13m of water to dock safely. Determine the number of hours per
cycle the ocean liner can safely dock.
d. What is the minimum depth of the water? At what times is the water level at a minimum?
