You are towing a water-skier behind a PWC. What is required?A wide-angle, convex, marine rearview mirror is installed on the PWC.The skier is using U.S. Coast Guard–approved, impact-tested water skis.A person at least 12 years old is on board and observing the progress of the person being towed.The boat is equipped with a ladder, steps, or platform to retrieve the water-skier from the water.

When towing someone with a PWC, one of the requirements is?A red skiing flag of at least 7 x 7 inches in size must be displayed.An observer or wide-angle rearview mirror is required.A continuously flashing yellow light must be displayed.A person may not be towed faster than 20 miles per hour.

In Florida, what is the legal requirement for passengers on a PWC?be at least 10 years of agehave an operator 22 years of age or olderwear a properly fitting, non-inflatable PFD (life jacket)know how to swim in deep water

You are traveling upstream on a river. You see a green square daymark. What should you do?Slow down to no-wake speed.Keep the marker on your port (left) side.Wave a skier-down flag.

A swimmer is towed through the water firstly while lying in a prone position on the water surface, then in a prone position but submerged under the water surface (assume the swimmer maintains the same horizontal position and is towed at the same speed in both situations). The person towing the swimmer would usually need to apply the greatest force to move the swimmer through the water in which situation:Question 17Answera.the prone position on the water surface and pulled quickly because, in this position, the swimmer has a higher wave drag than when submergedb.the prone position on the water surface because in this position, the swimmer has a higher surface area exposed to two types of fluid than when submerged, which increases form dragc.the submerged prone position and pulled quickly because, in this position, the swimmer has a less streamlined body position compared to when on the water surface, which increases form dragd.the submerged prone position and pulled quickly because, in this position, the swimmer has a higher surface area exposed to the flow compared to when on the water surface, which increases surface drage.the same force would be applied to the swimmer in a prone position on the water surface and when submerged to move them at the same velocity through the water. This is because there is the same amount of form drag in both situations.

One boat is overtaking another. Which boat should stand on?
