Extracted text: The Admiralty Coefficient A is a nautical value that relates a ship's (top) speed S, horsepower H, and displacement D. The relationship is A = Here speed is measured in knots and displacement is measured in tons. For Victory Ships produced in World War II, the Admiralty Coefficient was about 424. Their engines produced 6000 horsepower, and they had a displacement of 14,800 tons. What was the speed of a typical Victory Ship? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) knots
