16A The sail area-displacement ratio S is given by S= 2/3 where A is the sail area (ft2) and d is the displacement (lb). S measures the amount of power available to drive a sailboat. Ratios range from 30 to 40, with a high ratio indicating a powerful boat. Find S for the sailboat, which has a displacement of 1100 tons, a sail area of 42300 ft², and 50 guns. The sail area-displacement ratio S= = (Simplify your answer. Do not round until the final answer. Then round to one decimal places as needed.)
