<u>Explanation:</u>
When light is incident at a transparent surface, the transmitted component of the light changes direction at the interface. Another component of the light is reflected at the surface. When a ray of light passes from water to diamond at an angle 45°, its path is bent towards the normal. This is so because water is less dense than the diamond. The refractive index of water (n = 1.33) is less than the refractive index of diamond (n = 2.419).
Answer:
d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x is the required differential equation.
Explanation:
Since the spring force F = kx where k is the spring constant and x its extension = 2.45 equals the weight of the 4 kg mass,
F = mg
kx = mg
k = mg/x
= 4 kg × 9.8 m/s²/2.45 m
= 39.2 kgm/s²/2.45 m
= 16 N/m
Now the drag force f = 16v where v is the velocity of the mass.
We now write an equation of motion for the forces on the mass. So,
F + f = ma (since both the drag force and spring force are in the same direction)where a = the acceleration of the mass
-kx - 16v = 4a
-16x - 16v = 4a
16x + 16v = -4a
4x + 4v = -a where v = dx/dt and a = d²x/dt²
4x + 4dx/dt = -d²x/dt²
d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x which is the required differential equation
Answer:
Part a)

Part B)

Explanation:
As we know that when both the forces are acting on the object in same direction then we will have

as we know that

m = 10.6 kg
now we will have


Now two forces are in opposite direction then we have


Part A)
Now we will have from above two equation

Part B)
Similarly for other force we have

It is called the reaction force of a bird flying.
