Chapter 6.3, Problem 67E

Sailing

Ignoring resistance, a sailboat starting from rest accelerates ( d v / d t ) at a rate proportional to the difference between the velocities of the wind and the boat.

(a) The wind is blowing at 20 knots, and after a half-hour, the boat is moving at 10 knots. Write the velocity v as a function of time t

(b) Use the result of put (a) to write the distance traveled by the boat as a function of time.
