Avibration absorber, which is a spring-mass system (k2, m2), is added to a system (k, mi) subject to a harmonic force f(t) = fo cos @t. (a) derive the amplitudes of steady-state response for mi and m2. (b) find the relation between k2 and m2 that leads to no steady state vibration of mi.

mass and volume are the answers you are looking for

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
