Answer:
c. 1600J
Explanation:
The loss in potential energy of the boy is given by:
where
m = 40 kg is the mass of the boy
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
is the total change in the height of the boy (4 metres + 2 cm due to the compression of the spring)
Substituting, we find
The concept required to solve this problem is the optical relationship that exists between the apparent depth and actual or actual depth. This is mathematically expressed under the equations.
Where,
Depth of glass
Refraction index of water
Refraction index of glass
Refraction index of air
Depth of water
I enclose a diagram for a better understanding of the problem, in this way we can determine that the apparent depth in the water of the logo would be subject to
Therefore the distance below the upper surface of the water that appears to be the logo is 4.041cm
