Finding optimum pressure using Newton-Raphson method for Air Cushion Vehicle required to break the ice

Objective: In order to break ice with Air Cushion Vehicle, I am finding the minimum pressure required using newton raphson method in python. Input parameters: width of ice wedge (beta) = 0.5 size of air cushion (r) = 40 (in feet) tensile strength of ice (sigma) = 150 (in psi) = 150*12*12 (in psf(ponds per square feet)) thickness…
