The common basilisk lizard is known as the Jesus Christ lizard
for its astounding ability to literally run on water. He runs above
1,5m/s, weights 100g and stay above water level for 5 meters. They
are 40 cm long. Suppose a normal man is equaly is running in the
water without do. How fast he needed to be to avoid that the water
level rises beyond his knees?
Data
height = 1,70 m
weight = 70 kg
feet dimensions = suppose it is a retangle with 30x15 cm
dimensions
the man runs for 5s and there is no limit for the man's
speed.
make the proper simplifications in order to get the
results
a) How fast he need to be if air and water viscosity are
ignored?
b) consider the case that viscosity is not ignored
c) consider the cases in which the man runs for 10s and 200m
d) there are claims that a human being should be at least at 105
km/h to achieve this phenomenon, the claim is true? Justifiy
