Chapter 4, Problem 4.22P
A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P4.22). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

To win your prize of a $10 Starbucks gift card, you must cross Lake Osceola in 1 of 3 boats, all personally built by Sebastian the Ibis. However, only 1 of them is strong enough to withstand an attack from an alligator, which the lake is now full of. They all look exactly the same, so you choose 1st boat. Sebastian says "It's a good thing you didn't pick the 3rd boart" and shoves it into the middle of the lake where it is bitten in half by an alligator. Before you climb into your boat, Sebastian offers you the choice of switching to the 2nd boat. What is the probability that you are eaten by alligators if you switch to the 2nd boat?arrow_forward

The pole has a lake of 15 8 feet and once the athlete releases the pole he will find a mattress 2 feet high, 10 feet wide and 16 feet long, which protects him in the fall. If an athlete lets go of the pole when it was 13.7 ft above the ground with a speed of 15.7 ft/s at an angle of 73 degrees.
