A man weighs 150lb and jumps onto a boat which is originally at rest. If he has a horizontal component of velocity of 3 ft/s just before he enters the boat, determine the weight of the boat if it has a velocity of 2 ft/s once the man enters it.
Solution Preview
Let us assume wt. of boat = wb lb
weight of man wm = 150 lb
velocity of man ...
1) A loaded flat bottom barge floats in fresh water. The bottom of the barge is 4.06m below the water line. When the barge is empty the barge's bottom is only 1.36m below the water line. What is the difference between the pressure on the bottom of the loaded barge and the pressure at the water line? Answer in Pascals.
2) I
A boat is pulled into a dock by a rope attached to the bow of the boat and passing through a pulley on the dock that is 1m higher than the bow of the boat. If the rope is pulled in at a rate of 1m/s, how fast is the boat approaching the dock when it is 8m from the dock?
A child in a boat throws a 6.00 kg package out horizontally with a speed of 10 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the boat immediately after, assuming it was initially at rest. The mass of the child is 24.0 kg and that of the boat is 50.0 kg.
Two people, one of mass 70 kg and the other of mass 60 kg, sit in a rowboat of mass 80 kg. With the boat initially at rest, the two people, who have been sitting at opposite ends of the boat, 3.0 m apart from each other, exchange seats. How far will the boat move?
A boat is being pulled into a dock with a rope attached to the boat at water level. when the boat is 12 feet from the dock, the length of the rope from the boat to the dock is 3 feet longer than twice the height of the dock above the water.
- Determine the equation needed to find the height of the dock.
- Find the height
1. A boat sails at a constant speed in a straight line. its position at time S is (30S- 300,10S +500). in the water there are two buoys, A and B. at positions A- (7100,2800) and B - (125700,42500).
a) write an expression in terms of S that is the square of the distance between the boat and buoy A at time S, simplify the answe

1. 0.00325 x 10-8 cm equals
A. 3.25 x 10-12 mm B. 3.25 x 10-11 mm
C. 3.25 x 10-10 mm D. 3.25 x 10-9 mm
2. You measure the length and width of a rectangle to be 1.125 m and 0.606 m, respectively. You calculate the rectangle's perimeter by adding these and multiplying by two. Your calculator's dis
You (m=80.0 kg) are in a rowboat (m=40.0 kg) of volume 0.300 m3. To answer the following, use the density of seawater as 10,050 N/m3.
Before you step into the rowboat, how much water does the rowboat displace with nothing in it?
What is the maximum load (excluding you and the boat) that you can take on before the rowboat sin
Wilma divorced Barney last year. This year she received the title to their boat that cost $45,000 and is now worth $55,000. Barney paid Wilma $1,500 per month, $500 for alimony and $1,000 for support of their two children. Wilma owed $60,000 to the bank for a loan on a failed business. To satisfy the debt, she transferred title
