Homework Statement
Summary: Scenario of towing an iceberg from Antarctica to a desert country. Need Help with 2 or 3 questions
Relevant Equations
Energy= Power x Time, Speed= distance/time. None of us are sure of what other equations to use. We think it is pure maths/physics knowledge.
Hi, I am doing a level 3 engineering diploma, myself and the rest of my class are struggling to answer most of the questions on the attached assignment paper particularly questions 2, 4, and 6 and 7. I have worked out q1 to be 7.3 icebergs per year needed and 7.3 x 10^3 volume needed. Most of the other questions we do not have the resources or the prior knowledge to calculate. Q3 and 5 are written theoretical questions which I can do myself. Any help on any of the questions would be greatly appreciated by all of us.

Connor.

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Please show us the work you have done on the questions so far. Which one specifically do you want help first with? Show us how far you've gotten on it, and we can offer some hints. We can't help you until you show us your work (that's in the PF rules). Thanks.
