What should you do when operating a boat in large waves and high wind?

While operating a boat in large waves and high wind, it's better to follow some guidelines as such given below:

1) Try to head into the waves at some slight angle and the speed of the boat should be reduced. 

2) In order to ride up and over the waves, the speed of the boat should be slow. 

3) The less the speed of the boat, and the less strain will be put on the hull and superstructure.

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
