) In order to analyse the characteristics of a particular hull design, a software model is created. The computer model will look at minimum wave making resistance and manoeuvring aspects. The computer program will require the parabolic curve equations of the bow and the stern of the ship. The dimensions of the ship are: The width or beam of the ship is 20m. i) Calculate the quadratic function for the ships bow. ii) Calculate the quadratic function for the ships stern.

Q1. a) The vertex of the parabola is at (1400, 27). The distance between the towers is 2800 feet. Calculate: i) The equation of the parabola. ii) The height of the cable 300 feet from the left tower. 307 Fo 1307 tt Q1. b) In order to analyse the characteristics of a particular hull design, a software model is created. The computer model will look at minimum wave making resistance and manoeuvring aspects. The computer program will require the parabolic curve equations of the bow and the stem of the ship. The dimensions of the ship are: STERN BOW 30m 20m The width or beam of the ship is 20m. Calculate the quadratic function for the ships bow. Calculate the quadratic function for the ships stem
