The non-metric Navy's of the world use a standard

The US Navy uses the international nautical mile of 1852 m.

The hell you say.... I'm as good or better than when I was 20.... food is
like oats to a horse... eat what you need and work hard. I never worry about
what I eat.... I go with what my body wants... If that's a triple
cheeseburger with extra mayo... so be it. I also don't eat more than once a
day.... usually! One big meal... sometimes I forget to eat for a day or
two... no big deal.
5'10" and 165lbs. I've got muscular defininition and hoist my weight easily
up rope or cliff.

20 lbs??? overweight??.... I'd be sufferin' blackouts just bending over to
tie my shoes!

No diet ever.... never watch what I eat.... eat what I want when I want....
I just work hard almost every day!

Problem lies with the take out 3 meals a day crowd.... not healthy to eat
that much!

How many feet/second is a boat moving at 6 knots?

About 9. (1.5 feet/sec per knot.)

The correct answer is 10.



How many meters/second is a boat moving at 10 knots?

5. (0.5m/sec per knot.)

This is correct.

So, if I'm sailing 18 feet/second, I'm doing 12 knots?

Well, given the correction that 6 knots is nearer to 10 feet/sec, if you
were doing 20 feet/sec, then that would we 12 knots.

He would never be sailing at that speed. Perhaps motoring, never sailing.

No. 10 ft/s is 6 knots.

You would be moving at 20 ft/s at 12 knots.
