How many years ago did one of these Man of War ships sail? Give an upper bound and a lower bound answer. b. In what century was the replica built?

  10. 8a. If the water line is zero feet, write down value at a and b? 8b. What is the total height of the ship from keel to the top of the highest mast in feet & mm? c. If the air draft & draft are rounded to the nearest foot what are the upper and lower bound values of the values of the answers to part b. a Air Draft 0 Draft b Sail area 8 500 sq feet 790 m2 (3sf) Air Draft 117 feet 35.66 m Length overall 152 feet 46.30m Length water line 97 feet 29.56 m Hull length 119 feet 36.40 m Beam 34 feet 10.36 m Draft 10 feet 3.04m Material Wood – Iroko & Mahogony Amount of wood 250 cubic metres 8828 ft3 (3sf)

  12. And now for those that want to design boats … Sails and the pressure on them. This is very basic and it assumes that the wind is blowing onto the sail’s full area. P is pressure in lbs/ft2 v is the velocity of the wind in mph P is directly proportional to the to the square of v. If at 14mph the wind pressure is 0.8 lbs/ft2, write an equation for P in terms of v. How many lbs of pressure are on the Grand Turks sails at this wind speed? Draw a graph of wind (0 to 40) against pressure (0 to 6). Draw another graph using wind in m/s and pressure in kg/m2.
