A pilot wants to fly from Dallas to Oklahoma City, a distance of 330 km at an angle of 10.0° west of north. The pilot heads dire
1 answer:
Ans. (a) It is clear from the question that, the velocity of the wind = 15 km/h and the direction of the wind is westwards.
(b) now we need to find the direction should the pilot have headed his plane to fly directly to Oklahoma City without being blown off course:
The velocity in westward direction (without the wind) = 200 sin (10)
= 34.729 or 34.73 km/hr
Since the wind is supplying a velocity of 15 km/hr , so along with the wind, his flight angle is required to supply the following velocity:
= 34.73 – 15 = 19.73 km/hr
The direction will be in a westward direction.
Now, 200 sin (∅) = 19.73
or ∅ = (19.73/200)
∅ = 5.6613 or 5.70
Therefore, the direction in which the pilot should head his plane to fly directly to Oklahoma city with being blown off course is: west of North

Explanation:
Total internal reflection can happen when light goes from a medium with higher refractive index (in this case, glass) to a medium with lower refractive index (in this case, water).
Snell's Law tells us that , where the <em>i</em> stands for incident (in this case, glass) and the <em>r</em> for refracted (in this case, water). We want to know when
, that is, when
, and this happens when the incident angle is:
Which for our values means:
The wavelength of the third resonance of the closed organ pipe is equal to the ratio between the speed of sound and the frequency of the 3rd harmonic:
The relationship between length of a closed pipe and wavelength of the standing waves inside is:
where n is the number of the harmonic. In this case, n=3, so the length of the pipe is
