Answer:
The volume of water displaced by the raft is 0.233 m³
Explanation:
The question relates to Archimedes' principle which states that the buoyant force experienced by an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of (the force of gravity on) the displaced fluid
The given parameters are;
The combined mass of the person and the raft, m = 233 kg
The liquid on which the raft is located = Water
The density of water, = 1000 kg/m³
Weight = Mass, m × g
Where;
m = The mass of the object
g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
Given that the raft is on the surface of the water (floating), the buoyant force is equal to the combined weight of the person and the raft = 233 kg
The combined weight of the person and the raft, = 233 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 2,283.4 N
Therefore;
The buoyant force = 2,283.4 N = The weight of the water displaced
The mass of the water displaced, , = 2,283.4 N/(9.8 m/s²) = 233 kg
Density = Mass/Volume
The volume of water displaced by the raft = The mass of the water displaced/(The density of the water) = 233 kg/(1,000 kg/m³) = 0.233 m³.
Complete part of Question: What is Jane's (and the vine's) angular speed just before she grabs Tarzan
Answer:
Jane's (and the vine's) angular speed just before she grabs Tarzan, w = 1.267 rad/s
Explanation:
According to the law of energy conservation:
Total change in kinetic energy = Total change in potential energy
Mass of Jane = 60 kg
Mass of the vine = 32 kg
Mass of Tarzan = 72 kg
Height of Tarzan = 5.50 m
Length of the vine = 8.50 m
Jane's change in gravitational potential energy,
Vine's gravitational potential energy,
Vine's Kinetic energy :
Jane's Kinetic energy:
3234 + 862.4 = 2167.5w² + 385.33w²
4096.4 = 2552.83w²
w² = 4096.4/2552.83
w² = 1.605
w = √1.605
w = 1.267 rad/s
