The frictional resistance of a ship is known to vary

Chapter 13, Problem 13.52

(choose chapter or problem)

The frictional resistance of a ship is known to vary directly as the 1.75 power of the speed v of the ship. A single tugboat at full power can tow the ship at a constant speed of 4.5 km/h by exerting a constant force of 300 kN. Determine (a) the power developed by the tugboat, (b) the maximum speed at which two tugboats, capable of delivering the same power, can tow the ship.
