A boat crossing a wide river moves with a speed of 19.0 km/h relative to the water. The water in the river has a steady speed of 7.50 km/h due south relative to the earth.
a) If the boat heads due west, determine the speed of the boat relative to an observer standing on the shore.
b) What is the angle made between the velocity of the boat relative to the observer and the west direction?
c) At what angle against the steam must the boat be headed with respect to the west direction in order for it to proceed west as seen by the observer on the shore?

We want to calculate the total metabolic heat generated by a singing canary taking into account heat transfer by radiation, convection and exhaling air. the air temperature is 20 oc, canary’s body internal and surface temperature is 33oc, external body surface convective heat transfer coefficient is 25.2 w/m2 .k, temperature difference between the inhaled and exhaled air is 4.3 oc, the ventilation rate is 0.74 cc of air per second, specific heat of air is 1.0066 kj/kg.k and density of air is 1.16 kg/m3 . assume the canary’s body to be a cylinder with 7 cm diameter and 9 cm length, and heat exchange is from the side as well as the top and bottom of cylinder. calculate 1) the net rate of heat lost by radiation, assuming heat gained by the bird through radiation from the surroundings is 11.5 w; 2) rate of heat transferred by convection to the surrounding air; 3) rate of heat transferred in the exhaling air without considering any internal evaporation; 4) total metabolic power.
