Q6. The following data were obtained during acceptance trials for a ship of 11650 tonne displacement:
ship speed 16 knots

torque delivered to the propeller 340 kNm

propeller thrust 465 kN

propeller speed 1.85 rev/s

effective power 2900 kW

propeller efficiency 67%

apparent slip ratio 0.06

transmission losses 3%

Calculate EACH of the following:

(a) the pitch of the propeller;  (3)

(b) the Taylor wake fraction;  (4)

(c) the real slip ratio; (1)
