Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.
Explanation:
- Let <em>S</em> be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s
- Let
be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.
- Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.
- The direction of the swimmer is upstream.
Hence the resultant velocity is given as, = S — S 0
= 1.25 — 1
= 0.25 m/s.
Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.
To solve this problem we will apply the principle of buoyancy of Archimedes and the relationship given between density, mass and volume.
By balancing forces, the force of the weight must be counteracted by the buoyancy force, therefore
Here,
m = mass
g =Gravitational energy
The buoyancy force corresponds to that exerted by water, while the mass given there is that of the object, therefore
Remember the expression for which you can determine the relationship between mass, volume and density, in which
In this case the density would be that of the object, replacing
Since the displaced volume of water is 0.429 we will have to
The density of water under normal conditions is , so
The density of the object is
