Problem 6 (24 points)
You have just been hired to design a sensor for a new class of icebreaker ship. These ships are used to smash their way through sheets of floating ice, either to get to a destination, or to clear a passage for other ships. The hull (outer structural surface) is very thick and strong, but the ship’s engines are powerful and it is possible to damage or destroy the hull by driving it against large floating slabs of thick ice. The plan is to provide the captain of the ship with a continuous monitor of the shear on the hull at the water line. The shear is the difference between the strain a few feet below the water line (where the ice is pushing against the moving ship) and the strain a few feet above the water line (where there is no ice). When the ice becomes thicker or the slabs become larger, the engine speed can be reduced to avoid damage to the hull.

Assume that the temperature of ice-laden sea water is constant (28°C) so you do not have to compensate for changes in temperature.
