Question: A 4 . 4 0 m long 1 : 5 0 scale model ship, with a wetted surface area of 5 . 0 0 m

A 4.40 m long 1:50 scale model ship, with a wetted surface area of 5.00m2, is tested at a speed of 1.2ms in fresh water. At that speed the total resistance is measured at 24.600 N . Data for the hull form indicates that the form factor, (1+k), is 1.14.
Calculate the total resistance for the full size ship at the corresponding speed in sea water, assuming that air drag and appendage drag are negligible.
You may assume the following:
Fresh water density ,1000kgm3, Sea water density ,1025kgm3
Fresh water viscosity 1.0010-6m2s Sea water viscosity 1.0610-6m2s
CF=0.075(logRn-2)2
