You are holding a shopping basket at the grocery store with two 0.55-kg cartons of cereal at the left end of the basket. the bas

ket is 0.78 m long. where should you place a 1.8-kg half gallon of milk, relative to the left end of the basket, so that the center of mass of your groceries is at the center of the basket?

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The basket is represented by a weightless rigid beam of length 0.78 m.
The x-coordinate is measured from the left end of the basket.

The mass at x=0 is 2*0.55 = 1.1 kg.
The weight acting at x = 0 is W₁ = 1.1*9.8 = 10.78 N

The mass near the right end is 1.8 kg.
Its weight is W₂ = 1.8*9.8 = 17.64 N

The fulcrum is in the middle of the basket, therefore its location is
x = 0.78/2 = 0.39 m.

For equilibrium, the sum of moments about the fulcrum is zero.
Therefore
(10.78 N)*(0.39 m) - (17.64 N)*(x-0.39 m) = 0
4.2042 - 17.64x + 6.8796 = 0
-17.64x = -11.0838
x = 0.6283 m

Answer:  0.63 m from the left end.

Ad libitum [116K]

A "screen" or even just a set of parallel bars are highly reflective to electromagnetic waves as long as the open spaces are small compared to the wavelengths.

"Grid" dishes work fine ... with less weight and less wind resistance ... for frequencies below about 3 GHz. (Wavelengths of at least 10 cm.)

(I even worked on a microwave system in South America where huge grid dishes were used on a 90-mile link.)

A thin film of soap with n = 1.34 hanging in the air reflects dominantly red light with λ = 642 nm. What is the minimum thicknes
wariber [46]

Answer:

The minimum thickness of the film and the wavelength of the light in air are 1.197\times10^{-7}\ m and 371 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Refractive index of soap= 1.34

Refractive index  of glass= 1.55

Wavelength = 642 nm

(I). We need to calculate the minimum thickness

Using formula of thickness

t=\dfrac{(2m+1)\lambda}{4n}

Where, m = 0 for constrictive

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{(642\times10^{-9})}{4\times1.34}

t=1.197\times10^{-7}\ m

(II). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{2nt}{m}

Where, m = 1

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{2\times1.55\times1.197\times10^{-7}}{1}

\lambda=371\ nm

Hence, The minimum thickness of the film and the wavelength of the light in air are 1.197\times10^{-7}\ m and 371 nm.
