While cruising on the high sea at speed of v = 22 km/hr, a cargo ship suddenly encounters a problem with its propeller shaft leading to the main engine being shut down. This causes the vessel to slow down to 12 km/hr over the next 14 minutes. Assuming that its deceleration profile is following a correlation of as a = -0.85ct², where c is the acceleration constant for any time t, determine; i) The magnitude for constant c from the two boundary limits of deceleration profile given above, and ii) Plot against the timescale for same interval above, a total distance covered by the vessel as it's slowing down from 22 km/hr to 12 km/hr. Also plot the speed profile for the vessel during that 14 minutes' span.​
