Set up a proportion
1 mile/1.6 km = 20,000miles/x
Cross Multiply
x = (20,000) * (1.6)
x = 32,000 kilometers
<span>A gymnast with mass m1 = 43 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 = 115 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam.
1)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
2)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?
3)How much extra mass could the gymnast hold before the beam begins to tip?
Now the gymnast (not holding any additional mass) walks directly above the right support.
4)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
5)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?</span>
Balancing.
When the same force is applied from both sides,the forces cancel out each other.
Answer:
The right solution is "165.8 nm".
Explanation:
Given:
Index of refraction,
n = 1.81
Wavelength,
λ = 600 nm
We know that,
⇒ 
By putting the values, we get
