P2-1

An experimental motorboat "the sharkfin" has an acceleration vs. distance profile as shown. (Note this is not acceleration vs. time). Assuming it starts from rest and acceleration units of in/s^2 with distance units of inches, determine the velocity (in/s) of the boat when the acceleration reaches maximum (s=3in) and when the acceleration is again zero. Ignore the small segment on the graph where the acceleration crosses to negative.
