Sample problem
It is desired to determine the drag force at a given speed on a prototype
sailboat hull. A model is placed in a test channel and three cables are used
to align its bow on the channel centerline. For a given speed, the tension
is 40 N in cable AB and 60 N in cable AE.
Determine the drag force exerted on the hull and the tension in cable AC.
