(22) A ship moves against a river flow of 1.5ftsec. Its speed V with respect to the water is 8 knots. Let:
L=400ft,B=60ft,T=20ft,CB=0.72, eta = transmission efficiency =0.75,sfc=0.3lbs. fuel ?shphr.
Without its payload the ship weighs 2800 tons. Find:
a.(3) The net speed of advance
b.(3) Loaded displacement
c.(3) Wetted area
d.(8) Resistance (Assume the river is 250ft wide and 32ft deep.)
e.(5) Fuel efficiency (in net ton miles/ lb fuel)
( 2 2 ) A ship moves against a river flow of 1 .
