To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to optical magnification (is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something.). Specifically the angular magnification of an optical telescope is given by

M = -\frac{f_o}{f_e}

Where,

f_o = Focal length of the objective lens in a refractor

f_e = Focal length of the eyepiece

Our values are given as

f_o = 71cm

f_e =  2.1cm

Replacing we have

M = -\frac{f_o}{f_e}

M = -\frac{71}{2.1}

M = - 33.81

Therefore the magnification of this astronomical telescope is -33.81

What mass of water must evaporate from the skin of a 70.0 kg man to cool his body 1.00 ∘C? The heat of vaporization of water at
romanna [79]

Answer:

100 cc

Explanation:

Heat released in cooling human body by t degree

= mass of the body x specific heat of the body x t

Substituting the data given

Heat released by the body

= 70 x 3480 x 1

= 243600 J

Mass of water to be evaporated

= 243600 / latent heat of vaporization of water

= 243600 / 2420000

= .1 kg

= 100 g

volume of water

= mass / density

= 100 / 1

100 cc

1 / 10 litres.
