Blue Ocean Towing: Equations

Notes regarding physics are written as text.
Equation numbers present the mathematics.

A summary of equations and their progression during solution might be helpful.

01
(1) A first-order vector differential equation with
momentum as the independent variable and time
as the independent variable.

Events occur to a system over the span of time of its observation. The momentum equation (above) describes the momentum aspect of the physics of the "on-going" part of this event. is represented by the momentum equation with the massive slab of ice modeled as a BODY. A single towing force is applied. Drag forces opposing the motion of the slab relative to the surrounding water. occur only where the are distributed and of varied origins.
