Consider the power P required for an animal of volume Vo and density Ļ to float with a fraction f of its volume submerged. Assume that the area of the moving limbs is A and the velocity of the accelerated water is v. (a) Calculate the mass of water accelerated per unit time in the treading motion. (b) Calculate the final velocity of the accelerated water v. (c) Calculate the power generated by the limbs (power is the work done in unit time). The weight of the body is W.
