Question:
Zoe is packing her belongings and moving in with Margaret. Her books are in boxes, which she plans to float down the river to Margaret’s shack on a square raft that is 3 m on each side and 11 cm thick. It is made of wood having a specific gravity of 0.6. If each box has a mass of 20 kg, how many boxes can be placed on the raft if the books are to remain dry? Assume that the water remains calm.
Step by Step Answer:
Specific gravity 06 Mass 2 kg Let Abe th...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
