Each station can detect how far away the epicenter was. So each station basically has a circle made of possible epicenters. When you have three, you narrow it down to one, final point.
Answer:
radius comes out to be 3 m
height of the cylinder comes out to be 3m
Explanation:
given
volume of cylinder = 27π m³
π r² h = 27π
r² h = 27.............(1)
surface area of cylinder open at the top
S = 2πrh + π r²




for least amount of material requirement.

hence radius comes out to be 3 m
for height put the value in the equation 1
so, height of the cylinder comes out to be 3m
(a) The plastic rod has a length of L=1.3m. If we divide by 8, we get the length of each piece:

(b) The center of the rod is located at x=0. This means we have 4 pieces of the rod on the negative side of x-axis, and 4 pieces on the positive side. So, starting from x=0 and going towards positive direction, we have: piece 5, piece 6, piece 7 and piece 8. Each piece is 0.1625 m long. Therefore, the center of piece 5 is at 0.1625m/2=0.0812 m. And the center of piece 6 will be shifted by 0.1625m with respect to this:

(c) The total charge is

. To get the charge on each piece, we should divide this value by 8, the number of pieces:

(d) We have to calculate the electric field at x=0.7 generated by piece 6. The charge on piece 6 is the value calculated at point (c):

If we approximate piece 6 as a single charge, the electric field is given by

where

and d is the distance between the charge (center of piece 6, located at 0.2437m) and point a (located at x=0.7m). Therefore we have

poiting towards the center of piece 6, since the charge is negative.
(e) missing details on this question.
Answer:
32km per hour
Explanation:
Explanation:
In first case v = a t
==> a t = 40 km p h
Now distance covered S1 + S2 + S3
S1 = 1/2 a t^2 and S3 = 1/2 a t^2
But S2 = 3t * 40 = 120 t km
Hence total distance = at^2 + 120 t
Time taken (total) = t + 3t + t = 5 t
Hence average speed = at^2 + 120 t / 5 t
Cancelling t we have at + 120 / 5 = 40 + 120 / 5 = 160/5 = 32 km per hour
