A VLCC (very large crude carrier) is a large oil tanker that,when fully loaded, has a mass of 300,000 metric tons. (One metricton is 1000 kg.) While several miles from port, the tanker ismoving at a speed of 12.0 mph when the captain shuts dwn theengines. The tanker continues moving foward, slowed by the dragforce of the water. After traweling a distance of 3.00 km thetanker's speed is 4.00 mph. Find the magnitude of the drag forceagainst the tanker?
For full credit on problems:
1. Draw a picture and label the info, show direction ofacceleration.
2. Choose objest for which to draw a free body diagram.
3. Draw free body diagram for each object, and define the x andy axes.
4. Split your forces into components.
5. write out the equations and then solve.
The answer is 1.28 x 10to the 6th Newtons...... I just want toknow how to do the work to arrive to this answer?
