Every 10.0 seconds, a crest of the wave passes the pier. This means that the period of the wave is exactly 10.0 s:
T=10.0 s
which means that the frequency of the wave is
f= \frac{1}{T}= \frac{1}{10.0 s}=0.1 Hz

The wavelength of a wave is related to its frequency by the relationship
\lambda= \frac{v}{f}
where v is the speed of the wave.
In this problem, v=5.6 m/s; if we use the previous formula, we find the wavelength of the wave:
\lambda= \frac{5.6 m/s}{0.1 Hz}=56 m
