This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Total Longitudinal Current Load on a Vessel - (Measured in Newton) - The Total Longitudinal Current Load on a Vessel, often called the current force, is a critical factor in ship design and operation, especially for moored vessels or those navigating strong currents.
Form Drag of a Vessel - (Measured in Newton) - Form Drag of a Vessel refers to the resistance experienced by the vessel due to its shape and the flow of water around it.
Skin Friction of a Vessel - Skin Friction of a Vessel is defined as the friction at the surface of a solid and a fluid in relative motion.
Vessel Propeller Drag - (Measured in Newton) - Vessel Propeller Drag refers to the resistance experienced by a ship's propeller as it moves through water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Form Drag of a Vessel: 0.15 Kilonewton --> 150 Newton (Check conversion here)
Skin Friction of a Vessel: 42 --> No Conversion Required
Vessel Propeller Drag: 249 Newton --> 249 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_{c, tot} = F_{c, form}+F_c,fric+F_{c, prop} --> 150+42+249

Evaluating ... ...

F_{c, tot} = 441

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

441 Newton -->0.441 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.441 Kilonewton <-- Total Longitudinal Current Load on a Vessel

(Calculation completed in 00.008 seconds)
