: Sailboat speed. The sail area-displacement ratio S provides
a measure of the sail power available to drive a
boat. For a boat with a displacement of d pounds and a
sail area of A square feet S is determined by the formula
S = 16Ad-2/3.(-2/3 is the power or exponent whatever they want to call it)
a) Find S to the nearest tenth for the Tartan 4100, which
has a sail area of 810 square feet and a displacement of
23,245 pounds.
b) Write d in terms of A and S. This question is from textbook
