What is the formula to calculate the verticle force in horse power or watts of a boat or other vessle on a dead weight as the vessel is lifted by a wave or swell? I have a displacement of 3,600 pounds with a rise of 8' in 5 seconds. Do I first need to calculate the density from volume/displacement? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ron

3600 x 8 x 60 ÷ (5 x 33,000), leaving as an exercise to figure out why.
