Answer: a) 3.85 days
b) 10.54 days
Explanation:-
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = time taken for decomposition = 3 days
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process =
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
a) Half-life of radon-222:
Thus half-life of radon-222 is 3.85 days.
b) Time taken for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time taken for decomposition = ?
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process =
Thus it will take 10.54 days for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount.
Answer:
Q = 40.1 degrees
Explanation:
Given:
- The weight of the timber W = 670 N
- Water surface level from pivot y = 2.1 m
- The specific density of water Y = 9810 N / m^3
- Dimension of timber = (0.15 x 0.15 x 0.0036) m
Find:
- The angle of inclination Q that the timber makes with the horizontal.
Solution:
- Calculate the Flamboyant Force F_b acting upwards at a distance x along the timber, which is unknown:
F_b = Y * V_timber
F_b = 9810*0.15*0.15*x
F_b = 226.7*x N
- Take static equilibrium conditions for the timber, and take moments about the pivot:
(M)_p = 0
W*0.5*3.6*cos(Q) - x/2 * F_b*cos(Q) = 0
- Plug values in:
670*0.5*3.6 - x^2 * 0.5*226.7 = 0
x^2 = 1206 / 113.35
x = 3.26 m
- Now use the value of x and vertical height y to compute the angle of inclination to be:
sin(Q) = y / x
sin(Q) = 2.1 / 3.26
Q = sin^-1 (0.6441718)
Q = 40.1 degrees
