Answer question 2!!

1. a boat is bobbing up and down on the water as waves pass underneath it. The depth of the water under the boat oscillates between 3 m and 4 m. The boat is stationary with respect to the shore and it is 2.9s between the crests of successive waves. A person on shore sees the crests of the wave passing by at 2 m/s. what is the distance between crests of this wave?

2. Two ducks are floating close together on the water near the boat in problem 1. When the first duck is on the peak of a passing wave the second duck is 30 cm below it and moving upwards. How far apart are the ducks?

Radiation from the head is a major source of heat loss from the human body. Model a head as a 21-cm-diameter, 20-cm-tall cylinder with a flat top.

If the body's surface temperature is 36?C , what is the net rate of heat loss on a chilly 9?C  day? All skin, regardless of color, is effectively black in the infrared where the radiation occurs, so use an emissivity of 0.95.

I have worked it through three times with other written solutions however i cannot arrive at the correct answer. A final answer as well as a solution would be appreciated! Thanks!

GOAL Apply the more general definition of torque. PROBLEM (a) A man applies a force of F = 3.00 102 N at an angle of 60.0° to the door of Figure (a), 2.00 m from the hinges. Find the torque on the door, choosing the position of the hinges as the axis of rotation. (b) Suppose a wedge is placed 1.50 m from the hinges on the other side of the door. What minimum force must the wedge exert so that the force applied in part (a) won't open the door? STRATEGY Part (a) can be solved by substitution into the general torque equation. In part (b) the hinges, the wedge, and the applied force all exert torques on the door. The door doesn't open, so the sum of these torques must be zero, a condition that can be used to find the wedge force. SOLUTION (A) Compute the torque due to the applied force exerted at 60.0°. Substitute into the general torque equation. τF = rFsin θ = (2.00 m)(3.00 ✕ 102 N) sin 60.0° = (2.00 m)(2.60 ✕ 102 N) = 5.20 102 N · m (B) Calculate the force exerted by the wedge on the other side of the door. Set the sum of the torques equal to zero. τhinge + τwedge + τF = 0 The hinge force provides no torque because it acts at the axis (r = 0). The wedge force acts at an angle of −90.0°, opposite the upward 260 N component. 0 + Fwedge(1.50 m) sin (−90.0°) + 5.20 ✕ 102 N · m = 0 Fwedge = 347 N LEARN MORE REMARKS Notice that the angle from the position vector to the wedge force is −90°. This is because, starting at the position vector, it's necessary to go 90° clockwise (the negative angular direction) to get to the force vector. Measuring the angle in this way automatically supplies the correct sign for the torque term and is consistent with the right-hand rule. Alternately, the magnitude of the torque can be found and the correct sign chosen based on physical intuition. Figure (b) illustrates the fact that the component of the force perpendicular to the lever arm causes the torque. QUESTION To make the wedge more effective in keeping the door closed, should it be placed closer to the hinge or to the doorknob? closer to the hinge closer to the doorknob PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. (a) A man applies a force of F = 3.00 102 N at an angle of 60.0° to a door, x = 2.10 m from the hinges. Find the torque on the door, choosing the position of the hinges as the axis of rotation. N · m (b) Suppose a wedge is placed 1.50 m from the hinges on the other side of the door. What minimum force must the wedge exert so that the force applied in part (a) won't open the door?
