A speedboat with a mass of 511 kg (including the driver) is tethered to a fixed buoy by a strong 31.5 m cable. The boat's owner
loves high speed, but does not really want to go anywhere. So the owner revs up the boat's engine, makes a lot of noise, and runs the boat in circles around the buoy with the cable supplying all the necessary centripetal force. When the tension of the cable is steady at 13300 N, with what force is the boat's engine pushing the boat? Different physics textbooks treat drag force somewhat differently and use different formulas. For the present purpose, take the water's drag force on the boat to be (450 kg/m)×2, where denotes the boat's speed. Ignore any drag force on the cable.
