The gross tonnage G is a standardized measure of a ship's capacity. It is calculated in terms of the volume V, in cubic meters, of the ship. There are no units associated with gross tonnage. It is calculated using the formula G= V(0.2 + 0.02 log V). In this exercise round your answers to the nearest whole number. (a) Find the gross tonnage of a ship with a volume of 15,000 cubic meters. (b) Use the crossing-graphs method to find the volume of a ship with a gross tonnage of 7000.
