Estimate power required to overcome surface resistance


A racing boat planes over the water at 80 MPH. The water temperature is 75F. The wetted surface of the boat, i.e., the part of the boat in contact with the water, is 3 ft wide and 8 ft long. Estimate the power required to overcome the surface resistance generated by the water against the wetted surface of the boat.
