The answer is letter a. It is best to slow down in situations of heavy rain or flooded road as skid could be the result if you lose out of control because the driver isn't slowing down. That is why it is being said that tires can ride on a thin film of water skis as it could skid if it has lost control if the driver hadn't slowed down.
Let 
be the direction the swimmer must swim relative to east. Then her velocity relative to the water is
The current has velocity vector (relative to the Earth)
The swimmer's resultant velocity (her velocity relative to the Earth) is then
We want the resultant vector to be pointing straight north, which means its horizontal component must be 0:
which is approximately 41º west of north.
The mass of the puck is
m = 0.15 kg.
The diameter of the puck is 0.076 m, therefore its radius is
r = 0.076/2 = 0.038 m
The sliding speed is
v = 0.5 m/s
The angular velocity is
ω = 8.4 rad/s
The rotational moment of inertia of the puck is
I = (mr²)/2
= 0.5*(0.15 kg)*(0.038 m)²
= 1.083 x 10⁻⁴ kg-m²
The kinetic energy of the puck is the sum of the translational and rotational kinetic energy.
The translational KE is
KE₁ = (1/2)*m*v²
= 0.5*(0.15 kg)*(0.5 m/s)²
= 0.0187 j
The rotational KE is
KE₂ = (1/2)*I*ω²
= 0.5*(1.083 x 10⁻⁴ kg-m²)*(8.4 rad/s)²
= 0.0038 J
The total KE is
KE = 0.0187 + 0.0038 = 0.0226 J
Answer: 0.0226 J
I don't understand what you mean by "depth" of the steps. The flat part of the step has a front-to-back dimension, and the 'riser' has a height. I don't care about the horizontal dimension of the step because it doesn't add anything to the climber's potential energy. And if the riser of each step is 20cm high, then 3,234 of them only take him (3,234 x 0.2) = 646.8 meters up off the ground. So something is definitely fishy about the steps.
Fortunately, we don't need to worry at all about the steps in order to derive a first approximation to the answer ... one that's certainly good enough for high school Physics.
In order to lift his bulk 828 meters from the street to the top of the Burj, the climber has to provide a force of 800 newtons, and maintain it through a distance of 828 meters. The work [s]he does is (force) x (distance) = <em>662,400 joules. </em>
The pressure needed in PSI = Pounds of force needed divided by the cylinder Area
The Cylinder rod Area is 21.19 sq inches
Thus, the pressure= 6800/21.19
= 320.91 PSI
