68 THE SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOAT the water at a certain speed is best obtained by the aid of an experimental model in a towing basin. The method of reasoning and the determination of resistances by this means is carried out in the following manner. Suppose we have a paraffin model 12 feet long constructed on a scale of i inch to 1 foot and it is desired to find the E.H.P. for the full sized vessel at a speed of 16 knots. We must first find the corresponding speed at which the model must be pulled to give the corresponding tow rope resistance. The corresponding speed of the model is found by the ratio, „ 16 X 12 , Vm = --------=1.333 knots. 144 When towed at this speed the resistance is measured and found to be 4.9435 pounds. The wetted surface of the vessel is 3700 square feet, therefore the wetted surface of the model is a 3700 X 122 , Sm = s. ---------= 25.7 square leet. 144 The friction factor and the exponent given in Froude’s Tables (see Table 1) are / = .00908 and 1 = 1.04 Therefore the frictional resistance is .00908 X 25.7 X i.3331M = -4075 lbs. The friction factor and exponent for the full sized vessel taken from Table 2 is /= .00910 and n = 1.825
