Question: E 9 . 3 5 . The drag on a ship 1 2 2 m long and with 2 1 3 5 m 2 wetted

E 9.35. The drag on a ship 122 m long and with 2135m2 wetted area is to be estimated. A model towed at 1.3ms through fresh water had a total drag resistance at 15.3 N . The skin resistance was separately analyzed and found to follow the law F=cum1.9. When tested at 3ms,
the skin resistance was 14.33Nm2 and the ships skin resistance is estimated to follow the law F=cuu1.85 and has a value of 43Nm2. Determine the corresponding speed of the ship and the power needed to propel it. Density of the sea water is 1025kgm3
