Answer:

1.28 m

Explanation:

Generally, pressure of fluid is given by

P=\rho g h where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is the height and \rho is the density

Considering that the pressure for mercury is same as for blood only that the height and density of fluid are different then

\rho_b g h_b= \rho_m g h_m

Since g is constant, then

\rho_b h_b= \rho_m h_m

Making h_b the subject of the formula then

h_b=\frac {\rho_m h_m}{\rho_b}

Where subscripts m and b denote mercury and blood respectively

Assuming density of blood is 1060 Kg/m3, density of mercury as 13600 Kg/m3 and substituting height of mercury for 0.1 m then

h_b=\frac {13600*0.1}{1060}=1.283018868  m \approx 1.28 m

PolarNik [594]

Complete Question

An oil tanker has collided with a smaller vessel, resulting in an oil spill in a large, calm-water bay of the ocean. You are investigating the environmental effects of the accident and need to know the area of the spill. The tanker captain informs you that 18000 liters of oil have escaped and that the oil has an index of refraction of n = 1.1. The index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.33. From the deck of your ship you note that in the sunlight the oil slick appears to be blue. A spectroscope confirms that the dominant wavelength from the surface of the spill is 485 nm. Assuming a uniform thickness, what is the largest total area oil slick

Answer:

The  largest total area of the oil slick  A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The volume of oil the escaped is  V  = 18000 \ L

    The refractive index of oil is n_o = 1.1

     The refractive index of water is n_w = 1.33

      The wavelength of the light  is \lambda = 485 \ nm =  485 * 10^{-9} \ m

         

Generally the thickness of the oil for condition of constructive interference between the oil and the water is mathematically represented as

          d = m *\frac{\lambda}{2n_w}

Where is the order of interference of the light and it value ranges from 1, 2, 3,...n

It is usually take as 1 unless stated otherwise by the question

substituting value

      d = 1 * \frac{485 *10^{-9}}{2 * 1.1}    

      d = 218 nm    

The are can be mathematically evaluated as

        A = \frac{V}{d}

Substituting values

        A = \frac{18000}{218*10^{-8}}

        A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2

Find the mass of a 52.2N bucket.​
Goshia [24]

Answer:

m = 5.22 kg

Explanation:

The force acting on the bucket is 52.2 N.

We need to find the mass of the bucket.

The force acting on the bucket is given by :

F = mg

g is acceleration due to gravity

m is mass

m=\dfrac{F}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{52.2}{10}\\\\=5.22\ kg

So, the mass of the bucket is 5.22 kg.

How are types of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum defined?
Drupady [299]
It is defined by their wavelength. Different colors have different wavelengths. For example, radio waves have a really long wavelength, whereas gamma-rays have a very short wavelength.
