A 50 kg fisherman sits at the center of the boat rented in a private resort, which has a uniform width and a weight per linear foot of 32 lb/ft, that will be used for island hoping in the area. The boat is 3 m long. Assume that the water exerts a uniform distributed load upward on the bottom of the boat. a) What is the applied load (lb) applied to the boat due to the weight of the fisherman? Round up to the next whole value. b) Using the applied load at Item a, what is the maximum shear force (lb) exerted on the boat?

A 50 kg fisherman sits at the center of the boat rented in a private resort, which has a uniform width and a weight per linear foot of
32 lb/ft, that will be used for island hoping in the area. The boat is 3 m long. Assume that the water exerts a uniform distributed load upward on the bottom of the boat.

a) What is the applied load (lb) applied to the boat due to the weight of the fisherman? Round up to the next whole value.

b) Using the applied load at Item a, what is the maximum shear force (lb) exerted on the boat?
