A campground official wants to measure the distance across an irregularly-shaped lake, but can't do so directly. He picks a poin

t south of the lake. From that point to the left side of the lake, the distance is 105 meters. From that point to the right side of the lake is 119 meters. The angle between these two measurements is 83 degrees. How far is it across the lake?

Answer:

149 m

Explanation:

The distances across the lake is forming a triangle.  

let the distance between the point and the left side be 'x'

and the distance between the point and the right be 'y'

and the distance across the lake be 'z' and the angle opposite to 'z' be 'Z' given:

∠Z = 83°

x = 105 m

y = 119 m

Now, applying the Law of Cosines, we get  

z² = x² + y² - 2xycos(Z)  

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

z² = 105² + 119² - 2×105×119×cos(83°)

or

z = √22140.48

or

z = 148.796 m ≈ 149 m

The point is 149 m across the lake

For a steady two-dimensional flow, identify the boundary layer approximations.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

  • The velocity component in the flow direction is much larger than that in the normal direction ( A )
  • The temperature and velocity gradients normal to the flow are much greater than those along the flow direction ( b )

Explanation:

For a steady two-dimensional flow the boundary layer approximations are The velocity component in the flow direction is much larger than that in the normal direction and The temperature and velocity gradients normal to the flow are much greater than those along the flow direction

assuming Vx ⇒ V∞ ⇒ U and Vy ⇒ u from continuity equation we know that

Vy << Vx

Two wires are made of the same material. Wire 1 has length that is 1.35 times the length of wire 2 and diameter that is 0.91 tim
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

1.117935:1

Explanation:

Since the wires are of the same material, they will have the same resistivity \rho.

The cross-sectional area of the of a wire is given by;

A=\pi\frac{d^2}{4}................(1)

where d is the diameter of the wire.

Also, the relationship between resistance R, cross-sectional area A and length l of a wire is given as follows;

\rho=\frac{RA}{l}..................(2)

Since the resistivity same for both wires, say wire 1 and wire 2, we can wreite the following;

\frac{R_1A_1}{l_1}=\frac{R_2A_2}{l_2}..................(3)

Hence from eqaution (3), the ration of wire 1 to 2 is expressed as;

\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{l_1A_2}{l_2A_1}..................(4)

Given;

l_1=1.35l_2

\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{1.35l_2A_2}{l_2A_1}\\\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{1.35A_2}{A_1}.............(5)

We then use equation (1) to fine the ratio of the area A_1 to A_2

bearing in mind that d_1=0.91d_2

This ratio gives 0.8281. Substituting this into equation (5), we get the following;

\frac{R_1}{R_2}= 1.35*0.8281=1.117935

What is the quality of the sound of an ambulance's siren when it moves toward a stationary hearer? What is the quality of the so
Damm [24]

Answer:

A) As the ambulance's siren moves toward a stationary hearer, the quality of sound will have a higher pitch

B) As the ambulance's siren moves away from a stationary hearer, the quality of sound will have a lower pitch.

Explanation:

From Doppler effect, the closer the source of sound gets to the observer, the higher the frequency and in turn the higher the pitch.

Meanwhile, the farther a source goes from an observer, the lower the frequency of the sound and also the lower the pitch.

Thus, as the ambulance's siren moves toward a stationary hearer, the quality of sound will have a higher pitch.

As the ambulance's siren moves away from a stationary hearer, the quality of sound will have a lower pitch.
