in the backwater of kerala a boatman was rowing a boat using a long pole of length 4.80 metres . 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 the point ?

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
