Reference no: EM13314892

1. A raft is made of 12 logs lashed together. Each is 28 cm in diameter and has a length of 6 m. How many people can the raft hold before they start getting their feet wet, assuming the average person has a mass of 70 kg? Do not neglect the weight of the logs. Assume the density of wood is 600kg/m3.
