Speed of a sailboat: The sail area displacement ration "S" provides a measure of the sail power available to drive a boat. For a boat with displacement of "d" pounds and a sail area of "A" Square feet S is determined by the function of S = 16Ad^-2/3
How do you find S to the nearest tenth for the Tartan 4100, which has a sail area of 810 square feet and a displacement of 23,245 pounds.
Can you write d in terms of A and S.
Can you show the process and how to solve this type of problem.
