Question: A wind force of 4 ( 1 + 0 . 0 1 ) k N acts on the main sail of a boat at a

A wind force of 4(1+0.01)kN acts on the main sail of a boat at a height of 2.5 m above the
level of centre of mass C of the boat (Figure 3). The wind force on the minor sail is 1.6 kN at a
height of 2 m above the level of C. The water resistance R=cv2 acts at 0.25 m above C. The
weight of the boat is 800(1+0.01)kg and a=0.8(1-0.02)ms2. Find velocity v,
water resistance R, the buoyancy force B and the resultant of the lateral forces on the boat.
[Note: The Buoyancy force need not act directly below C, but will act somewhere along the
line of symmetry of the boatl.
