Question
A torpedo boat with a displacement of 60 long tons is moving at 18 knots when it fires at 300-lb torpedo horizontally with the launch tube at the 30° angle shown. If the torpedo bas a velocity relative to the boat of 20 ft/sec as it leaves the tube, determine the momentary reduction ∆v in forward speed of the boat. Recall that 1 knot = 1.688 ft/sec and 1 long ton = 2240 lb. Solve the problem also by referring the motion to a coordinate system moving with the initial speed of the boat.

Summary
The question belongs to Mechanical Engineering and the question is about calculating the speed of the boat after it launches a torpedo at a 30° angle. The momentary reduction in speed of the boat needs to be calculated. The calculation has been given in the solution in detail.

I always wished to be a tax attorney and my dream has come true with the assistance of HwA. After completing my graduation in law I pursued a master degree on taxation. However, I faced severe problems while dealing with the numerical given as assignments. Then one of my friends suggested about this website and I got wonderful response.
To be honest, chemical engineering is not my field. However, I had to deal with heat transfer assignments during one of my metallurgy assignments. The experts here are spot on and helped me get good grades without any hassle. The experience had been wonderful to say the least.
The course structure in the US is totally different from what I was used to. I was feeling totally bogged down with all the course load and numerous assignments of the different subjects. Thank god for TheReliableTutor and their brilliant Labor Economics Assignment experts I did not need to worry about the assignment once I submitted it to them.
Research and referencing are the two guidelines that our physics professor makes us swear by. Once I had had a one on one chat with my assigned tutor at TheReliableTutor and explained this prerequisite I have received all the physics assignments that I have requested with detailed research and flawless referencing. Its like having an extension of your own self working on the physics assignments.
Your Team saved me from failing by helping me at the last minute. Thanks guys!

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
