🔍 Key Concepts

• Theoretical distance a vessel should travel in one day based on propeller pitch and RPM • Formula for propeller slip %: (Theoretical – Observed) / Theoretical × 100 • How to convert propeller pitch in feet and inches to decimal feet

💭 Think About

• How do you find the total number of propeller revolutions in the day from the given RPM? • Once you know total revolutions and pitch, how do you calculate the theoretical distance the ship should have traveled with 0% slip? • After you compare theoretical and observed distances, what does a positive slip vs a negative slip mean physically?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carefully convert 20'06" to decimal feet before multiplying by total revolutions • Make sure you convert time in hours to minutes when using RPM (revolutions per minute) • Check the sign of slip: if the ship traveled less than the theoretical distance, slip should be positive, if more, slip should be negative
