SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on rearranging the equation X=Y-0.0065*Z*Y^.6 to express Y in terms of X. The equation originates from empirical studies related to the lift coefficient of a deadrise planing surface of a boat, conducted in the 1960s. Participants express skepticism about the feasibility of rearranging the equation, highlighting the complexity involved. The user has utilized Excel for plotting and trendline fitting to approximate solutions, indicating a practical approach to handling the equation.

I don't think you can …

wherever does an equation like that come from? :smile:
 
Thanks for the welcome. The equation comes from emperical equations from a tow tank in the 1960's to define the lift coefficient of a deadrise planing surface of a boat at speed. Thanks for the help. I have plotted the equation in excel then added a trendline to get a good fit and backed out equations, very cumbersome.
