The figure below 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 228 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 32.0° with the vertical and the water exerts a horizontal drag force of 47.5 N on the boat, opposite to its forward velocity of magnitude 0.857 m/s. The mass of the boat including its cargo and the worker is 361 kg. a. The water exerts a buoyant force vertically upward on the boat. Find the magnitude of this force (in N) b. Model the forces as constant over a short interval of time to find the magnitude of the velocity of the boat 0.340 s after the moment described (in m/s).
