To minimize neutron leakage from a reactor, the ratio of the surface area to the volume should be a minimum. For a given volume V the ratio of the sphere will be \frac{4.83598}{c^{\frac{1}{3} } }.

We know that the surface area and volume of the sphere is given by:

A=4 \pi r^{2}\\V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Therefore, the ratio between the surface area and the volume for the sphere will be:

\frac{A}{V}=\frac{4 \pi r^{2}\\}{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}}=\frac{3}{r}

Equating the volume to the constant c, we will find the value of r.

V=c=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\\r= (\frac{3c}{4\pi} )^{\frac{1}{3} }

Substituting the value of r in the ration between surface area and volume, we get:

\frac{A}{V}=\frac{3}{ (\frac{3c}{4\pi} )^{\frac{1}{3} }}

Calculating the constants, we get:

\frac{4.83598}{c^{\frac{1}{3} } }

Hence, the ration between surface area and volume is \frac{4.83598}{c^{\frac{1}{3} } }

tankabanditka [31]
This question may require more information for an accurate answer. If the clouds are observed west of the city and they are moving in a westerly direction it means that the clouds are moving away. Precipitation refers to rainfall, sleet, hail or snow. Since no reference was made to the temperature, season or location of the city it could be rain or snow clouds. The clouds are moving away from the city so the possible answers could be b. or d. Furthermore, by dividing the distance by the speed one would get an answer of twenty four hours. So even if the clouds were moving towards the city it would take a day to reach and precipitation would not be likely in 24 hrs.

KengaRu [80]

Explanation:

Pressure is the same for both plungers.

P = P

F / A = F / A

F / (¼ π d²) = F / (¼ π d²)

F / d² = F / d²

5 N / (0.05 m)² = F / (1 m)²

F = 2000 N

None of the options are correct.
