A canoe lies and bobs in the water. It is 3.7 meters long and weighs 38 kg.

a) What is the volume of the canoe underwater?

b) Calculate and draw the forces acting on the canoe.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Here , buoynce force acting on the particle will balance the weight of the body, hence using archemedic principle, i.e. , weight of displaced water= buoynce force, we get volume of the canoe underwater. Hence, we obtain volume = 0.38 m^3. Also only two forces, buoynce and weight of the object act on the canoe in opposite direction , which is equal to 380 Newton.

A 0.726-kg rope 2.00 meters long lies on a floor. You grasp one end of the rope and begin lifting it upward with a constant speed of 0.710 m/s. Find the position and velocity of the rope’s center of mass from the time you begin lifting the rope to the time the last piece of rope lifts off the floor. Plot your results. (Assume the rope occupies negligible volume directly below the point where it is being lifted.)
