The river where, uh, my friend, “Joe” launches his boat is 40º and running at between 5200 and 5400 cfs. The wind is blowing downstream at 12 mph. The relative humidity is at 55%, barometer dropping. The boat weighs roughly 1000 pounds, and a 20 foot rope is secured from the bow eye to the trailer winch stand. The truck backs at .063 mph, floats the boat, truck accelerates to 2.8 mph. The rope snaps, sending the boat floating unrestrained downstream, roughly 20 feet from the bank. “Joe” has to wade in water 3 feet deep to rescue his boat. With all the information given, determine how small “Joe’s” ‘nads have become during this exercise.
