This is an Engineering question, and the answer is reasonably simple. The mechanical advantage is given by:
MA =

on a lever or ramp system.
MA =

MA = 6.67 (there are no units, as MA is a ratio)
Answer:
It will take 140.76 seconds to swim 0.150 miles.
Explanation:
Distance covered by man by swimming for t time= d
d = 1500.0 miles
t = 14 minutes + 34.56 seconds
1 min = 60 seconds
t = 14 × 60 seconds + 34.56 seconds = 874.56 seconds
Speed of the man while swimming = S = 
If the man swims 0.150 miles with the same speed ,then the time taken by him be T.
0.150 miles = 0.150 × 1609.34 m = 241.401 m
(1 mile= 1609.34 meters)


T = 140.76 seconds
It will take 140.76 seconds to swim 0.150 miles.
<span>The answer is hypertonic. In osmosis, water
molecules move from a hypotonic solution to the hypertonic solution, through a
semipermeable membrane. This occurs until
both solutions become isotonic relative to each other. In osmosis, only
the movement of water molecules occurs since the ions are large enough to pass
through the pores of the semipermeable membrane,
in this case, the cell membrane. Due to
loss of water in the process of osmosis, the cells in the fingers of the swimmers
shrunk hence looked shriveled.</span>
