During a test, a NATO surveillance radar system, operating at 37 GHz at 182 kW of power, attempts to detect an incoming stealth

aircraft at 104 km. Assume that the radar beam is emitted uniformly over a hemisphere. (a) What is the intensity of the beam when the beam reaches the aircraft's location? The aircraft reflects radar waves as though it has a cross-sectional area of only 0.22 m2. (b) What is the power of the aircraft's reflection? Assume that the beam is reflected uniformly over a hemisphere. Back at the radar site, what are (c) the intensity, (d) the maximum value of the electric field vector, and (e) the rms value of the magnetic field of the reflected radar beam?

(a) 2.68\cdot 10^{-6} W/m^2

The intensity of an electromagnetic wave is given by

I=\frac{P}{A}

where

P is the power

A is the area of the surface considered

For the waves in the problem,

P=182 kW = 1.82\cdot 10^5 W is the power

The area is a hemisphere of radius

r=104 km=1.04\cdot 10^5 m

so

A=2\pi r^2=2\pi (1.04\cdot 10^5 m)^2=6.8\cdot 10^{10} m^2

So, the intensity is

I=\frac{1.82\cdot 10^5 W}{6.8\cdot 10^{10}m^2}=2.68\cdot 10^{-6} W/m^2

(b) 5.9\cdot 10^{-7} W

In this case, the area of the reflection is

A=0.22 m^2

So, if we use the intensity of the wave that we found previously, we can calculate the power of the aircraft's reflection using the same formula:

P=IA=(2.68\cdot 10^{-6} W/m^2)(0.22 m^2)=5.9\cdot 10^{-7} W

(c) 8.7\cdot 10^{-18} W/m^2

We said that the power of the waves reflected by the aircraft is

P=5.9\cdot 10^{-7} W

If we assume that the reflected waves also propagate over a hemisphere of radius

r=104 km=1.04\cdot 10^5 m

which has an area of

A=2\pi r^2=2\pi (1.04\cdot 10^5 m)^2=6.8\cdot 10^{10} m^2

Then the intensity of the reflected waves at the radar site will be

I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{5.9\cdot 10^{-7} W}{6.8\cdot 10^{10} m^2}=8.7\cdot 10^{-18} W/m^2

(d) 8.1\cdot 10^{-8} V/m

The intensity of a wave is related to the maximum value of the electric field by

I=\frac{1}{2}c\epsilon_0 E_0^2

where

c is the speed of light

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

E_0 is the maximum value of the electric field vector

Solving the equation for E_0,

E_0=\sqrt{\frac{2I}{c\epsilon_0}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(8.7\cdot 10^{-18} W/m^2)}{(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)}}=8.1\cdot 10^{-8} V/m

(e) 1.9\cdot 10^{-16} T

The maximum value of the magnetic field vector is given by

B_0 = \frac{E_0}{c}

Substituting the values,

B_0 = \frac{(8.1\cdot 10^{-8} V/m)}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=2.7\cdot 10^{-16} T

And the rms value of the magnetic field is given by

B_{rms} = \frac{B_0}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{2.7\cdot 10^{-16} T}{\sqrt{2}}=1.9\cdot 10^{-16} T

How large a force is necessary to stretch a 4.0-mm-diameter steel wire from its original length by 1.0%?
jekas [21]

The force needed to stretch the steel wire by 1% is 25,140 N.

The given parameters include;

  • diameter of the steel, d = 4 mm
  • the radius of the wire, r = 2mm = 0.002 m
  • original length of the wire, L₁
  • final length of the wire, L₂ = 1.01 x L₁ (increase of 1% = 101%)
  • extension of the wire e = L₂ - L₁ = 1.01L₁ - L₁ = 0.01L₁
  • the Youngs modulus of steel, E = 200 Gpa

The area of the steel wire is calculated as follows;

A = \pi r^2\\\\ A= 3.142 \times (0.002)^2\\\\ A= 1.257 \times 10^{-5} \ m^2

The force needed to stretch the wire is calculated from Youngs modulus of elasticity given as;

E = \frac{stress}{strain} = \frac{F/A}{e/L} = \frac{FL}{Ae} \\\\F = \frac{EAe}{L}

F = \frac{200 \times 10^9\  \times\  1.257\times 10^{-5}\  \times \ 0.01l_1}{l_1} \\\\F = 25,140\ N

Thus, the force needed to stretch the steel wire by 1% is 25,140 N.

Every year _______ species go extinct.<br> a. 3<br> b. 72<br> c. 1000<br> d. 20000
Tems11 [23]
Well, the thing is: we don't really know, as we don't even know how many species there are on earth.

If we take a look at the estimates of <span>World Wide Fund for Nature, an organization that works toward combating species extinction, their estimates vary from 200 to 100 000 - but a probable number is 20 000 (d). </span>
