Even, in 1921, the Dodge Brothers built a boat named the SS Delphine and it had a whopping 3000 HP.
So, how much horsepower would a Challenger SRT®
Hellcat Redeye Widebody need to tow the SS Delphine up the industry
standard: Davis Dam Grade Climb?
Pro Tips
Davis Dam assumed grade = 7%
Air density is sea level conditions (.002377
slugs/f^t3)
w(weight) of the SS Delphine + trailer + Redeye =
3,922,000 + 150,000 + 4451 Lbs
Crr = coefficient of rolling resistance =
.015
Assume Combined CDA is 1555 ft^2
SAE J2807 (Davis Dam Grande Climb) - min speed is
40mpg (59 ft/s)
F(drag) = 1/2p x V^2 x C(d)A
F(rolling resistance) = W x cos x Crr
F(weight) = W x sin
F(sum) = F(drag) + F(rr) + F(weight)
P = F(sum)XV
convert to horsepower = P(1hp/550ft lbf/sec)

A solid, homogeneous sphere with a mass of m0, a radius of r0 and a density of ρ0 is placed in a container of water. Initially the sphere floats and the water level is marked on the side of the container. What happens to the water level, when the original sphere is replaced with a new sphere which has different physical parameters? Notation: r means the water level rises in the container, f means falls, s means stays the same.
