It is a ratio obtained by dividing the volume of the hull of the vessel by the volume of a block having the same length, width and height as the vessel's length, beam and depth.
It is used to infer how "streamlined" a vessel is. An oil tanker would normally have a larger block coefficient than a container ship.
What else can I help you with?
Is the coefficient of friction the same as when the block was standing on its larger (or smaller) end?
No, the coefficient of friction can vary based on the contact surface area and material properties of the block. When the block is standing on its larger (or smaller) end, the contact surface area and the weight distribution changes, which can affect the coefficient of friction.
What is formula for block coefficient?
The block coefficient (CB) is calculated as the ratio of the underwater volume of a ship's hull to the volume of a rectangular block that has the same overall length, breadth, and draft as the ship. The formula for block coefficient is: [ CB = \frac{V_{ship}}{L \times B \times T} ] Where: CB = Block coefficient Vship = Underwater volume of the ship's hull L = Length of the ship B = Breadth of the ship T = Draft of the ship
Does the coefficient of kinetic friction depend on the weight of the block?
No, It does not depends on weight of block because this weight of block is being balanced by normal force. So by increasing weight of block, there is no effect on coefficient of friction.
When the block of mass is increased is there an increase in the value of coefficient of kinetic friction?
No, increasing the mass of the block does not directly affect the coefficient of kinetic friction. The coefficient of kinetic friction depends on the nature of the surfaces in contact and does not change with mass.
How do you get to block island?
Airplane or boat
Experiment to find coefficient of dynamic friction?
To find the coefficient of dynamic friction, conduct an experiment by placing a block on a flat surface connected to a force sensor. Apply a horizontal force gradually to the block until it starts to slide, and note the force required for motion to begin. Use the formula: coefficient of dynamic friction = (force to start motion) / (weight of the block) to calculate the coefficient. Repeat the experiment multiple times to get an average value.
What is the heat transfer coefficient of fiberglass boat hull?
I think it is arounf 9w/m2k
How do you get to Block Island RI from Providence?
By boat.
How does the coefficient of kinetic friction vary with the the area of contact between the block and he horizontal?
The coefficient of kinetic friction remains constant regardless of the area of contact between the block and the horizontal surface. It is a property of the materials in contact and does not depend on the surface area.
How fast is a 175 hp Johnson go in mph?
It would depend on the boat and prop. And boat speed is not measured in mph. It is measured in knots.
Does a starter for a 350 small block the same as a 350 small block in a boat?
The starter in a boat is sealed so that it can't ignite an explosion of fumes in the bilge. You could put a boat starter in a car, but it would be very dangerous to put a car starter in a boat.
How do you install a fuses terminal block in a boat?
by reading the instructions
