Question

A supertanker with a total displacement (weight) of $155(10^3)$ long tons (one long ton equals 2240 lb) is moving forward at a speed of 2.3 knots when the engines are reversed to produce a rearward propeller thrust of 74000 lb. How long would it take the tanker to acquire a speed of 2.3 knots in the reverse direction? Can you justify neglecting the impulse of water resistance of the hull? (Recall 1 knot = 1.151 mi/hr.)

Step 1

g., SI or US customary units). Given: Displacement (weight) of the tanker, $W = 155 \times 10^3$ long tons 1 long ton = 2240 lb Initial speed, $v_1 = 2.3$ knots (forward) Final speed, $v_2 = 2.3$ knots (reverse) Rearward propeller thrust, $F = 74000$ lb 1 knot = Show more…
