Answer:
The speed will be "3.58 ft/s". The further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
Number of knots
= 15
For the similarity of Froude number:
⇒ [tex]\frac{V_{m}}{\sqrt{g_{m}l_{m}} }=\frac{V}{\sqrt{gl} }[/tex]
Here,
[tex]l = length[/tex]
[tex]g_{m}=g[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{V_{m}}{V}=\sqrt{\frac{l_{m}}{l} }[/tex]
[tex]V_{m}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{50} }\times number \ of \ knots[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{\frac{1}{50}}\times 15[/tex]
[tex]=2.12 \ knots[/tex]
Now,
⇒ [tex]1 \ knots=0.514\times 3.281[/tex]
[tex]=1.69 \ ft/s[/tex]
So that,
⇒ [tex]V_{m}=2.12\times 1.69[/tex]
[tex]=3.58 \ ft/s[/tex]
