Question:

Swordfish are capable of stunning output power for short bursts. A 650 kg swordfish has a cross-section area of 0.92 m2 and a drag coefficient of 0.0091—exceptionally low due to a number of adaptations. Such a fish can sustain a speed of 30 m/s for a few seconds. Assume seawater has a density of 1026 kg/m3 . What is the specific power for motion at this high speed?
