A.) A raft is 4 m wide and 4 m long. When a horse is loaded onto the raft, it sinks 3.5 cm deeper into the water (freshwater). What is the weight of the horse? (in Newtons) B.) Would the same raft with the same horse rise higher or sink deeper if it was in salt water? Choose from these choices= a. Rise Higher b. Sink Deeper. c. Stay the same
A boat traveling at 12.50 m/s relative to the water aims to go straight across a river. If the river is 109.0 m wide and the current in the river is 3.50 m/s, how far downstream will the boat land on the other side of the river? Calculate the answer in meters (m) and rounded to three significant figures.
3. When a 60 kg person gets into a 300 kg boat the boat sinks about 5 cm lower in the water. (a) Assuming the buoyant force of the water on the boat behaves like a Hookian spring find the effective spring constant of the boat water system. 12000 Nm F-mp (b) The boat and person gently bob up and down in simple harmonic motion. Find the natural frequency of bobbing. (c) When the person looks over the side of...
A 100kg person is sitting on the left edge of his boat in still water at 7.5m from the shore. The boat also has a 100kg mass, is 6. long, and symmetrical shape so that its center of mass is the middle where the whole weight of the boat can be assumed to be acting. a. How far to the right is the center of mass (CM) of the boat from the shore. b. How far is the CM of...
