The whale shark the largest of fish and can have the mass of three adult elephants. Suppose that a crane is whale shark into a tank for delivery to an aquariumThe crane must exert an unbalanced force of 2.5 * 10 ^ 4 to lift the shark from rest. If the shark's acceleration equals 1.25 m/s ^ 2 , what is the shark's mass?

Sagot :

Answer:

Mass, m = 20000 kg

Explanation:

The force acting on the shark, [tex]F=2.5\times 10^4\ N[/tex]

Acceleration of the shark, a = 1.25 m/s²

We need to find the mass of the Shark. The force acting on an object is given by :

F = ma

m is the shark's mass

So,

[tex]m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^4}{1.25}\\\\m=20000\ kg[/tex]

So, the mass of the Shark is 20000 kg.
