Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

s = top speed

p = horsepower

s = 27.3 × p^(1/6)

the exponent 1/6 means the 6th root of p.

17.

s = 27.3 × 70^(1/6) = 27.3 × 2.030094899... =

= 55.42159075... knots

18.

50 = 27.3 × p^(1/6)

50⁶ = 27.3⁶ × p

p = 50⁶/27.3⁶ = (50/27.3)⁶ = (1.831501832...)⁶ =

= 37.74367151... horsepower
