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 mi/hr experiences a drag force of 86 kg-meter per square second when the wetted surface area is 41.2 square feet, how fast must a boat with 28.5 square feet of wetted surface area go in order to experience a drag force of 94 kg-meter per square second?

A railroad car which has a mass 9216 kg is constrained to move along a horizontal track under the action of a wind blowing in the direction of the track. The frictional resistance to the car motion is 1/200 of its weight. The force exerted by wind is P=kSu2, where S is the area of the backside of the railroad car, equals to 6 m2, and u is the velocity of the wind relative to car, k=0.12. The absolute velocity of the wind is w=12 m/s. The initial velocity of the railroad car is 0. Determine:a) the maximum velocity vmax of the railroad car;b) the time T taken to reach this velocity;c) the distance x, travelled by the railroad car before reaching a velocity of 3 m/s
