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.

Q1. a] The vertex of the parabola is at (14130. 2?]. The distance between the towers is 23m feet. Calculate; i} The equation of the parabola. ii] The height of the cable 3GB feet from the left tower.
