The drag force on a boat varies jointly as the wetted surface area and the square of the velocity of a boat. If a boat going 6.5 mph experiences a drag force of 86 N when the wetted surface area is 41.2 ft2 , how fast must a boat with 28.5 ft2 of wetted surface area goes in order to experience a drag force of 94N?
