Angle of Current Relative to Longitudinal Axis of Vessel for Form Drag of Vessel Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Angle of the Current = acos(-Form Drag of a Vessel/(0.5*Water Density*Form Drag Coefficient*Vessel Beam*Vessel Draft*Average Current Speed^2))
θc = acos(-Fc, form/(0.5*ρwater*Cc, form*B*T*Vc^2))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 7 Variables
Functions Used
cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
acos - The inverse cosine function, is the inverse function of the cosine function. It is the function that takes a ratio as an input and returns the angle whose cosine is equal to that ratio., acos(Number)
Variables Used
Angle of the Current - Angle of the Current Relative to the Longitudinal Axis of the Vessel.
Form Drag of a Vessel - (Measured in Newton) - Form Drag of a Vessel [Force] is increase in resistance due to pressure.
Water Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Water Density is mass per unit of water.
Form Drag Coefficient - Form Drag Coefficient [dimensionless] is the drag caused by the separation of the boundary layer from a surface and the wake created by that separation.
Vessel Beam - (Measured in Meter) - Vessel Beam [length] is the widest part of the vessel.
Vessel Draft - (Measured in Meter) - Vessel Draft [length] of a ship's hull is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull.
Average Current Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Current Speed [length/time] defined as the speed of Ocean currents that are continuous, predictable, directional movement of seawater.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Form Drag of a Vessel: 12 Kilonewton --> 12000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Water Density: 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Form Drag Coefficient: 5 --> No Conversion Required
Vessel Beam: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required
Vessel Draft: 1.68 Meter --> 1.68 Meter No Conversion Required
Average Current Speed: 25 Meter per Second --> 25 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
θc = acos(-Fc, form/(0.5*ρwater*Cc, form*B*T*Vc^2)) --> acos(-12000/(0.5*1000*5*2*1.68*25^2))
Evaluating ... ...
θc = 1.5730820430709
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
1.5730820430709 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
1.5730820430709 1.573082 <-- Angle of the Current
