Some engineers have developed a device that provides lighting to rural areas with no access to grid electricity. The device is i
ntended for indoor use. It is driven by gravity, and it works as follows: A bag of rock or sand is raised by human power to a higher location. As the bag descends very slowly, it powers a sprocket-wheel which also rotates slowly. A gear train mechanism converts this slow motion to high speed, which drives a DC generator. The electric output from the generator is used to power an LED bulb. Consider a gravity-driven LED bulb that provides 16 lumens of lighting. The device uses a 10-kg sandbag that is raised by human power to a 2-m height. For continuous lighting, the bag needs to be raised every 20 minutes. Using an efficacy of 150 lumens per watt for the LED bulb, determine (a) the velocity of the sandbag as it descends and (b) the overall efficiency of the device.

Answer:
Explanation:
Given that
Lattice constant = a
Radius of unit cell cell =R
Atom is in BCC structure.
In BCC unit cell (Body centered cube)
1.Eight atoms at eight corner of cube which have 1/8 part in each cube.
2.One complete atom at the body center of the cube
So the total number of atoms in the BCC
Z= 1/8 x 8 + 1 x 1
Z=2
In triangle ABD
In triangle ABC
AC=4R
BC=a
So
So the relationship between lattice constant and radius of unit cell
