Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.

While out on your boat you spot a spherical vessel (10 ft diameter) on the bottom of the ocean. The sphere is too heavy/large to bring into your small boat (length=2.5 m, width=1.5 m and height=1 m), so you decide to tow it in. Your boat has a 20 hp motor. Assuming you operate your boat at maximum power, how long does it take to tow the object back to shore (distance 2 miles) if your boat has a coefficient of drag Cp=0.4. 1 Assume that the stress on the bottom of the boat can be ignored and recall that for turbulent flow for a sphere CD=0.44. The wind is luckily not blowing that day. The air is at 1 atm and 15°C and water at 25°C. 20 hp Figure 2
