This is the concept of trigonometry, the direction of the John will be given by:
tan theta=opposite/adjacent
suppose:
a=theta
opposite=4 mph
adjacent=5.5 mph
tan a=4/5.5
a=tan^-1(4/5.5)
a=36
therefore the boat canoe will be moving 36 degrees from East, his direction will be 126 degrees south east

A raft is made of 12 logs lashed together. Each is 45 cm in diameter and has a length of 6.5 m. How many people can the raft hol
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

324 people

Explanation:

radius r = diameter / 2 = 45cm /2 = 22.5 cm or 0.225 m

We can calculate the total volume of the log by computing the volume of each cylindrical log:

V = \pi r^2 L = \pi 0.225^2 * 6.5 = 4.6 m^3

So the total volume of all 12 logs is

12 * 4.6 = 55.135 m^3

The weight that the raft can support, is the buoyancy force subtracted by its own weight.

The buoyancy force is basically the weight of the water is displaced, which is water density times volume. The log weight is also log density times its volume

F = F_b - F_w = g\rho_wV - g\rho_rV = gV(\rho_w - \rho_r)

where \rho_w = 1000kg/m^3,\rho_r are the density of water and raft, respectively. But since we have the specific gravity of wood is 0.6. That measn

\rho_r / \rho_w = 0.6

\rho_r = 0.6\rho_w

Therefore \rho_w - \rho_r = \rho_w - 0.6\rho_w = 0.4\rho_w = 0.4*1000 = 400 kg/m^3

Let g = 9.8m/s2. We can now calculate the force that the raft can support

F = gV(\rho_w - \rho_r) = 9.8*55.135*400=216129.2N

Each person has a mass of 68kg, their weight would be

W = 68*g = 68*9.8 = 666.4N

So the maximum number of people that the raft can hold is

F / W = 216129.2 / 666.4 = 324 people

Work = force × distance × cos(angle)

work = (25)(50)(cos (40))

work = 957.56 Joules

Suppose that 2 scientists use different measurement systems in their work. What problems might arise if they shared their data?
bixtya [17]
<span>In assumption that there were two scientists who used different measurement systems in their research. The problems that might arise if they shared their data is obviously and primarily error. Errors are recognized and one element in every measure, system and quantity. Error was already even present in the measurement system alone a scientist used and it will furthermore aggregate, when these two different scales are combined the more error escalates in the process. There are two types: random and systematic error.   </span>
