Hey guys
Physics as you know is the basics of how everything works and how everything moves. Navy battleship are no exception to physics. It is up to engineers to make sure they put enough power into these ship so they are quick and manoeuvrable. When these engineers start to calculate the power needed to move these gigantic ships they first need to know how much the ship will weigh. The weight of a Navy Ship weight changes constantly as fuel gets consumed, planes fly on and off the flight deck, people arrive/leave, and so many other variables make it hard to estimate how much the ship will weigh. The Navy's group of engineers use different weight loads to catagorize the different loads of the ship. For example light displacement is just the weight of the ship, talking when the ship leaves the ship yard empty. Loaded disparagement includes the crew, cargo, fresh water, salt water. stores, and any other item necessary for the voyage. Also, when you are talking about moving the ship anther factor is the current of the water. Is it going against the boat or flowing with the boat. This best engineers do these calculations constantly on a ship so they make sure the engines do not burn out and cause a stop to the the voyage. I just wanted to show how force of physics can be used in a real life application.
If you where an engineer for the Navy, how would you calculate the force needed to move a ship.
