Water Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Water Density is mass per unit volume of water.
Skin Friction Coefficient - Skin Friction Coefficient refers to the dimensionless parameter that quantifies the resistance between the surface of a structure and the surrounding soil or water.
Wetted Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Wetted Surface Area is the total area of outer surface in contact with the surrounding water.
Angle of the Current - Angle of the Current refers to the direction at which ocean currents or tidal flows approach a coastline or a coastal structure, relative to a defined reference direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Skin Friction of a Vessel: 42 --> No Conversion Required
Water Density: 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Skin Friction Coefficient: 0.72 --> No Conversion Required
Wetted Surface Area: 4 Square Meter --> 4 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of the Current: 1.15 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_cs = sqrt(F_c,fric/(0.5*ρ_water*c_f*S*cos(θ_c))) --> sqrt(42/(0.5*1000*0.72*4*cos(1.15)))

Evaluating ... ...

V_cs = 0.267210823152114

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.267210823152114 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.267210823152114 ≈ 0.267211 Meter per Second <-- Average Current Speed for Skin Friction

What is Mooring Load?

The Mooring loads often govern the required lateral load capacity of a pier or berth structure. Mooring hardware and equipment are normally rated for a safe working load based upon allowable stresses and/or manufacturer's testing that should not be exceeded.
