What reading level is The Resistance And Propulsion of Ships book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The disk area may also be related to the wetted surface of the ship by the formula -^. , Wetted surface Disk area = — , in which K^ is usually found between 70 and 90, while for specially high-powered craft it may fall to from 50 to 70. The disk area may also be related to the area of midship section by the formula ^. , Area of midship section Disk area = y^ — , Digitized by Google 284 RESISTANCE AND PROPULSION OF SHIPS, in which K^ is usually found between 2 and 2.5, while for specially high-p...owered craft it may fall to from 1.2 to 2. The disk area may also be related to the displacement D by the formula Disk area = — , in which iiT, is usually found between ,8 and i.i, while for specially high-powered craft it may fall to from .6 to .8. In formulae relating the disk area to the ship the result found is considered as the area for all the propellers, one, two, or three, as fitted. The value may then be divided as required, and the diameter immediately found. The methods and formulae briefly referred to in these equations involve necessarily a large element of judgment, with but slight opportunity for its orderly exercise.
