Solve Equation

[MikeArmstrong]

I am working on the JONSWAP wave spectra analysis in-line with DNV-RP-F109 and having trouble soling the equations in the attached worksheet.

The standard indicates that the wave number can be established by iteration from the transcendental equation, but I can’t for the life of me work out how to do it.

I probably don't quite understand what you are getting at Mike, but what's wrong with;

Absolutely nothing. I can't believe I missed that.

Cheers Alan, superb.

Hi Alan,

I have just been playing around with the symbolic solver to try and solve this and cannot get it to work. Can it be solved for k symbolically?
