Answer: 4.8 s
Explanation:
We have the following data:
the mass of the raft
the force applied by Sawyer
the raft's final speed
the raft's initial speed (assuming it starts from rest)
We have to find the time 
Well, according to Newton's second law of motion we have:
(1)
Where 
is the acceleration, which can be expressed as:
(2)
Substituting (2) in (1):
(3)
Where 
Isolating from (3):
(4)
Finally:
We use the following expression
T = 2*pi *sqrt(l/g)
Where T is the period of the pendulum
l is the length of the pendulum
and g the acceleration of gravity
We solve for l
l = [T/2*pi]² *g = [30s/2*pi]²* 9.8 [m/s²] = 223.413 m
The tower would need to be at least 223.413 m high
Answer;
1 hectare meter is equal to 10000 cubic meter.
Answer:
a) 14.2sec
b) 1394m away if horizontal speed never changes
c) 9.8m/s
