Homework Statement
Popeye was sailing his boat in a straight channel one half km wide. The steady current flows south at four km/h and a wind blows from the north, parallel to the current. Popeye starts from the west shore. He sets his sail and tiller so that he moves diagonally across and up...
Well i was thinking of the orientation shouldn't it be like -6.4% see:
Profit % = mp(adown(down)+aup(up))/p(mg(down)-ma(down)) x 100%
Profit % = mp(adown+aup)/mp (g-a) x 100%
Profit % = (adown+aup)/(g-a) x 100%
Profit % = (2 m/s^2(down) - 2.5 m/s^2(down)) / (9.8m/s^2 (down)- 2 m/s^2(down))...
umm, i understand what you wrote but like if u want me to be hundred percent accurate i cannot be because i don't know how much the price is or the mass.
p(mg+ ma) he will pay whatever the weight the balance will show. since the balance shows the weight as mg+ ma as accelerating, and he buys it, to the weight then it would be p(mg+ ma) right?
