Question 25
Figure P5.25 shows a worker poling a boat—a very efficient mode of transportation—across a shallow lake. He pushes parallel to the length of the light pole, exerting a force of magnitude
N on the bottom of the lake. Assume the pole lies in the vertical plane containing the keel of the boat. At one moment, the pole makes an angle of
° with the vertical and the water exerts a horizontal drag force of
N on the boat, opposite to its forward velocity of magnitude
m/s. The mass of the boat including its cargo and the worker is
kg. (a) The water exerts a buoyant force vertically upward on the boat. Find the magnitude of this force. (b) Model the forces as constant over a short interval of time to find the velocity of the boat
s after the moment described.
