Gravitational potential energy is energy.
The unit of energy is the Joule.
1 Joule = 1 kilogram-meter² / sec²
The Action Force of this scenario is the pushing force of the Diver. The Reaction Force is the raft pushing back on the diver.
The Third Law of Motion states that "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Now when the diver dives off the raft, the raft is also pushing the same amount of force as the diver did as he dives off. The diver will then move forward and the raft on the other hand will move backwards.
The movement of the raft shows the opposite force. It will move backwards depending on how strong the diver will push off on the raft. And the amount of force he pushes on it, the raft will exert the same force so the stronger the force of the diver, the farther he will go because the raft will push him in that same direction as it goes backwards.
Answer:
461.88 N
Explanation:
Let tension in each vine be T .
The vertical component of this tension of both the vine will add up and balance the weight .
2T cos 30 = mg
2 T x cos 30 = 800
T = 800 / (2 x cos30 )
= 461.88 N
