in the backwaters of Kerala a boatman was roving a Boat using a long pole of length 4.80 M when he put the pole vertically into the water so that the pole touched the ground under the water 0.25 part of the pole was above the water level .what is the depth of the water at that point

Answer 2

SOLUTION

Total length of pole = 4.80 m

length of pole above the water level= 0.25 of the pole = 0.25 x 4.80 =1.20 m

length of the pole under the water = 4.80 - 1.20 =3.60 m

therefore depth of the water at point = 3.60 meter
