Question: Problem 1 ) ( 2 0 Points ) Flat Bottom Boat ( Chapter 9 ) A flat bottom boat moves through the water at 2

Problem 1)(20 Points) Flat Bottom Boat (Chapter 9)
A flat bottom boat moves through the water at 20 mph (29.3 feet per second). The surface of the hull can be treated as a flat plate with length equal to 20 feet, and width equal to 8 feet.
Given: Density of water \(=1.94\) slugs/ft^3
Kinematic viscosity of water \(=1.66\mathrm{E}-5\mathrm{ft}\wedge 2/\mathrm{s}\)
Assume the boundary layer of water against the boat hull has a leading laminar zone followed by a turbulent zone.
Find:
a) Force, in lbs, and b) Power, in horsepower, required to propel the boat. (\( P=F V \))
