Explanation:
<u>Net Forces and Acceleration</u>
The second Newton's Law relates the net force
acting on an object of mass m with the acceleration a it gets. Both the net force and the acceleration are vector and have the same direction because they are proportional to each other.

According to the information given in the question, two forces are acting on the swimming student: One of 256 N pointing to the south and other to the west of 104 N. Since those forces are not aligned, we must add them like vectors as shown in the figure below.
The magnitude of the resulting force
is computed as the hypotenuse of a right triangle


The acceleration can be obtained from the formula

Note we are using only magnitudes here



Answer:
the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids is 2.39 cm.
Explanation:
Given;
density of oil,
= 926 kg/m³
density of the wood,
= 974 kg/m³
density of water,
= 1000 kg/m³
height of the wood, h = 3.69 cm
Based on the density of the wood, it will position across the two liquids.
let the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids = x
Let the wood be in equilibrium position;
![F_{wood} - F_{oil} - F_{water} = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .gh - \rho _o .g(h-x) - \rho_w .gx = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .h - \rho _o (h-x) - \rho_w .x = 0\\\\\rho _{wood} .h -\rho _o h + \rho _o x - \rho_w .x =0\\\\h (\rho _{wood} -\rho _o ) = x( \rho_w - \rho _o)\\\\x =h[\frac{ \rho _{wood} -\rho _o }{\rho_w - \rho _o} ]\\\\x = 3.69\ cm \times [\frac{974 - 926}{1000-926} ]\\\\x = 2.39 \ cm](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F_%7Bwood%7D%20-%20F_%7Boil%7D%20-%20F_%7Bwater%7D%20%3D%200%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Crho%20_%7Bwood%7D%20.gh%20-%20%5Crho%20_o%20.g%28h-x%29%20-%20%5Crho_w%20.gx%20%3D%200%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Crho%20_%7Bwood%7D%20.h%20-%20%5Crho%20_o%20%28h-x%29%20-%20%5Crho_w%20.x%20%3D%200%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Crho%20_%7Bwood%7D%20.h%20-%5Crho%20_o%20h%20%2B%20%5Crho%20_o%20x%20-%20%5Crho_w%20.x%20%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5Ch%20%28%5Crho%20_%7Bwood%7D%20%20-%5Crho%20_o%20%29%20%3D%20x%28%20%5Crho_w%20-%20%5Crho%20_o%29%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%20%3Dh%5B%5Cfrac%7B%20%5Crho%20_%7Bwood%7D%20%20-%5Crho%20_o%20%7D%7B%5Crho_w%20-%20%5Crho%20_o%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%20%3D%203.69%5C%20cm%20%5Ctimes%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B974%20-%20926%7D%7B1000-926%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%20%3D%202.39%20%5C%20cm)
Therefore, the position of the wood below the interface of the two liquids is 2.39 cm.

Answer:
m = 2.01[kg]
Explanation:
This problem can be solved using Newton's second law which tells us that the force applied on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

where:
F = force = 12.5 [N]
m = mass [kg]
a = acceleration = 6.2 [m/s²]
![12.5=m*6.2\\m = 2.01[kg]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=12.5%3Dm%2A6.2%5C%5Cm%20%3D%202.01%5Bkg%5D)
