Chapter 1 Problem 1.8.9

Question

A motorboat weighs 32,000 lb and its motor provides a thrust of 5000 lb. Assume that the water resistance is 100 pounds for each foot per second of the speed v of the boat. Then dv 1000- = 5000 - 1OOv. dt If the boat starts from rest, what is the maximum velocity that it can attain?

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 1 problem number 9 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A motorboat weighs 32,000 lb and its motor provides a thrust of 5000 lb. Assume that the water resistance is 100 pounds for each foot per second of the speed v of the boat. Then dv 1000- = 5000 - 1OOv. dt If the boat starts from rest, what is the maximum velocity that it can attain?
From the textbook chapter First-Order Differential Equations you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
