Chapter 7.2, Problem 15P
To determine

Tofind:The two speeds of the hydrofoil.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 15P

Thehydrofoil has the speed of 45 km/h while going forward and the speed of 30 km/h while returning.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The roundtrip of 144 km is made in 4 h.

The average speed of returning is 15 km/h less than the average speed of going out.

Calculation:

Consider the average speed of the hydrofoil is x . The total trip is of 144 km means each way is 72 km. The total time taken is 4 h.

  4=72x+72x154=72(x15)+72xx(x15)4=72x1080+72xx215x4x2204x+1080=0x251x+270=0

The solution of the given equation is obtained by using the quadratic formula.

For a quadratic equation in the form of ax2+bx+c=0 , the solution of this equation is given by

  x1,2=b±b24ac2a

Comparing the given equation with the standard quadratic equation, the coefficients are:

  a=1b=51c=270

Substituting these in the formula for the roots.

  x1=(51)±(51)24×1×(270)2×1=51±260110802=51±392x=6x=45

The value of x as 6 is not valid because it means that the hydrofoil is pushed back by the winds. Therefore the speed of hydrofoil while going is 45 km/h and while returning 45-15 = 30 km/h.
