A raft has a mass of 152 kg. When a person stands on it, the raft displaces
0.224 m3 of water. What is the mass
of the person?
[?] kg

72 kg

Explanation:

The computation of the mass of the person is shown below:

As we know that

Water displaced weight = Raft weight + person weight

P_w.V = M_r + M_p

where

P_w denotes the water density i.e. 1000 kg/m^3

V denotes the volume of the water in m^3

Now

1000 × 0.224 = 152 + M_p

M_p = 224 - 152

= 72 kg

weight of the box is given as

here this is placed on the inclined of angle 42 degree

now this weight will have two components one is along the incline other is perpendicular to it

so here we need to apply a force parallel to incline opposite to its component of weight

so here the component of weight is given as

here we have

so it requires 75 n force to move it upwards
