Question:

Transverse thrusters are used to make large ships fully maneuverable at low speeds without tugboat assistance. A transverse thruster consists of a propeller mounted in a duct; the unit is then mounted below the waterline in the bow or stern of the ship. The duct runs completely across the ship. Calculate the thrust developed by a \(1865 \mathrm{kw}\) unit (supplied to the propeller) if the duct is \(2.8 \mathrm{~m}\) in diameter and the ship is stationary.
