<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. 3.43 kPa

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = Force / Area

Force is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. 

 Thus;  Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Substituting;

               Force = (350 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

               Force = 3430 N

Then, using the first equation;

                Pressure = 3430 N / 1m² or Pa

<h3>                             <u>= 3.43 kPa</u></h3>

We intend to observe two distant equal brightness stars whose angular separation is 50.0 × 10-7 rad. Assuming a mean wavelength
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

13.4cm

Explanation:

According to Rayleigh’s criterion the angular resolution to distinguish two objects is given by:

\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{b}

θ = 50.0*10^-7 rad

λ: wavelength of the light = 550nm

b = diameter of the objective

By doing b the subject of the formula and replacing the values of the angle and wavelength you obtain:

b=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}=1.22\frac{550*10^{-9}m}{50.0*10^{-7}rad}=0.134m=13.4cm

hence, the smallest diameter objective lens is 13.4cm
