A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method (Fig. P1.6). Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, she walks d = 100 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then she sights across to the tree. The angle from her baseline to the tree is 0 = 35.0. How wide is the river? Figure P1.6

Consider the equation s=s0+v0t+a0t2/2+j0t3/6+s0t4/24+ct5/120 , were s is a length and t is a time. What are the dimensions and SI units of (a) s0 , (b) v0 , (c) a0 , (d) j0 , (e) s0, and (f) c ?
In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
A surveyor measures the distance across a river that flows straight north by the following method. Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, the surveyor walks 100 m along the river to establish a baseline. She then sights across to the tree and reads that the angle from the baseline to the tree is 35 . How wide is the river?
