The figure below conceptualizes the parameters that are relevant for waves created by wind blowing across the ocean. To determine the wave height, H, several variables should be considered including the wind speed, V, the water density, ρ, the air density, ρa, the water depth, d, the distance from the shore, l, and the gravity acceleration, g, . 

Using d, V, and ρ as repeating variables, complete below the dimensional analysis to determine a suitable set of Π terms that could be used to describe this problem. 

Two dimensionless parameters that relate H and ρa with repeating variables have already been determined as Π1=H1d-1V0ρ0 = H/d and Π2a1d0V0ρ-1 = ρa respectively. In order to complete the analysis, you are tasked to identify other dimensionless Π groups
