Question 64Navigation Problems70% to pass
If the pitch of the propeller is 25.1 feet, and the revolutions per day are 91,591, calculate the day's run allowing 7% positive slip.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 351.6 miles.
To calculate the day's run, we need to use the formula: Day's run = Propeller pitch x RPD x (1 - Slip), where RPD is the revolutions per day and Slip is the positive slip percentage.
Given information:
- Propeller pitch = 25.1 feet
- Revolutions per day (RPD) = 91,591
- Positive slip = 7%
Plugging in the values:
Day's run = 25.1 feet x 91,591 x (1 - 0.07)
Day's run = 25.1 feet x 91,591 x 0.93
Day's run = 2,131.7 feet
Day's run = 351.6 miles
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the calculation using the given information and the formula for day's run.
