This file MAT 222 Week 3 Assignment Real World Radical Formulas contains solutions to the following tasks:
1.103. Sailboat stability. To be considered safe for ocean sailing the capsize screening value C should be less than 2 (www.sailing.com). For a boat with a beam (or width) b in feet and displacement d in pounds C is determined by the function.
a).Find the capsize screening value for the Tartan 4100 which has a displacement of 23245 pounds and a beam of 13.5 feet.
b). Solve the equation for d.
2.104. Sailboat speed. The sail area-displacement ratio S provides a measure of the sail power available to drive a boat. For a boat with a displacement of d pounds and a sail area of A square feet S is determined by the function
a)Find S to the nearest tenth for the Tartan 4100 which has a sail area of 810 square feet and a displacement of 23245 pounds.
