A man paddles a canoe in a long, straight section of a river. The canoe moves downstream with constant speed 5 m/s relative to t

he water. The river has a steady current of 1 m/s relative to the bank. The man's hat falls into the river. Five minutes later, he notices that his hat is missing and immediately turns the canoe around, paddling upriver with the same constant speed of 5 m/s relative to the water. How long does it take the man to row back upriver to reclaim his hat?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall consider all movement with respect to water assuming that river is at rest or motionless .

speed of canoe = 5 m /s

in five minutes , distance between hat and canoe = 5 x 60 x 5

1500 m

This distance will be covered by man in return journey . In this case his speed is 5 m /s again considering river constant .

So this will be covered at 5 m /s

time taken = 1500 / 5 = 300 s

= 5 minutes .

so it will take 5 minutes to row back to reclaim his hat .

There is a seasaw that's holding two men. The seesaw has a length of 18m that can pivot from a point at its center. Man 1 has a
Alex

Answer:

Distance=  2.3864m

Explanation:

So that the balance is in equilibrium parallel to the floor, we must match the moment each man makes with respect to the pivot point.

In many cases the point of application of force does not coincide with the point of application in the body. In this case the force acts on the object and its structure at a certain distance, by means of an element that transfers that action of this force to the object.

This combination of force applied by the distance to the point of the structure where it is applied is called the moment of force F with respect to the point. The moment will attempt a rotation shift or rotation of the object. The distance from the force to the point of application is called the arm.

Mathematically it is calculated by expression:

M= F×d

The moment caused by the first man is:

M1= 75kg × (9.81m/s²) × 1.75m= 1287.5625 N×m

The moment caused by the second man must be equal to that caused by the first by which:

M2= 1287.5625 N×m= 55kg × (9.81m/s²) × distance ⇒

⇒distance= (1287.5625 N×m)/( (55kg × (9.81m/s²) )= 2.3864m

At this distance from the pivot point, the second should sit down so that the balance is balanced parallel to the ground.
