The time taken by the swimmer was 1 hour.

Why?

Since the swimmer is maintaining an angle of 150° while he was swimming, there were two components of the speed (horizontal and vertical). If we want to calculate the time taken by him to cross the river, we need to calculate the vertical speed and consider that the flow's speed is compensated by his horizontal speed.

We can calculate both components of the speed using the following formula:

HorizontalSpeed=Speed*Cos(150\°)\\\\VerticalSpeed=Speed*Sin(150\°)

Now, calculating we have:

HorizontalSpeed=2\frac{Km}{h} *Cos(150\°)=-\sqrt{3} \frac{Km}{h} \\\\VerticalSpeed=2\frac{Km}{h} *Sin(150\°)=1\frac{Km}{h}

Therefore, we have that the horizontal speed is compesating the flow's speed while his vertical speed is used to cross the river which is 1 Km wide.

Hence, we have that the tame taken is:

Time=\frac{RiverWidth}{VerticalSpeed}=\frac{1Km}{1\frac{Km}{h} } =1h

Have a nice day!

A common method to measure thermal conductivity of a biomaterial is to insert a long metallic probe axially into the center of a
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is approximately 1.571 watts per meter-Celsius.

Explanation:

Let suppose that thermal conduction is uniform and one-dimensional, the conduction heat transfer (\dot Q), measured in watts, in the hollow cylinder is:

\dot Q = \frac{2\cdot k\cdot L}{\ln \left(\frac{D_{o}}{D_{i}} \right)}\cdot (T_{i}-T_{o})

Where:

k - Thermal conductivity, measured in watts per meter-Celsius.

L - Length of the cylinder, measured in meters.

D_{i} - Inner diameter, measured in meters.

D_{o} - Outer diameter, measured in meters.

T_{i} - Temperature at inner surface, measured in Celsius.

T_{o} - Temperature at outer surface, measured in Celsius.

Now we clear the thermal conductivity in the equation:

k = \frac{\dot Q}{2\cdot L\cdot (T_{i}-T_{o})}\cdot \ln\left(\frac{D_{o}}{D_{i}} \right)

If we know that \dot Q = 40.8\,W, L = 0.6\,m, T_{i} = 50\,^{\circ}C, T_{o} = 20\,^{\circ}C, D_{i} = 0.01\,m and D_{o} = 0.04\,m, the thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is:

k = \left[\frac{40.8\,W}{2\cdot (0.6\,m)\cdot (50\,^{\circ}C-20\,^{\circ}C)}\right]\cdot \ln \left(\frac{0.04\,m}{0.01\,m} \right)

k \approx 1.571\,\frac{W}{m\cdot ^{\circ}C}

The thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is approximately 1.571 watts per meter-Celsius.

A person is trying to lift a crate that has a mass of 30 kg. The normal force of the floor is currently supplying 150N of force.
alexdok [17]

Here when an object is placed on the level floor then in that case there are two forces on the object

1). Weight of object downwards (mg)

2). Normal force due to floor which will counterbalance the weight (N)

so when no force is applied on the box at that time normal force is counter balanced by weight.

Now here it is given that A person tried to lift the box upwards

So now there are two forces on the box

1). Applied force of person

2). Normal force due to ground

So now these two forces will counter balance the weight of the crate

So we can write an equation for force balance like

F_g = F_n + F_a

given that

F_g = mg

here

m = 30 kg and

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s^2

F_n = 150 N

now from above equation

30*10 = 150 + F_a

F_a = 300 - 150 = 150 N

So force applied by the person must be 150 N
