Solution:

With reference to Fig. 1

Let 'x' be the distance from the wall

Then for \DeltaDAC:

tan\theta = \frac{d}{x}

⇒ \theta = tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}

Now for the \DeltaBAC:

tan\theta = \frac{d + h}{x}

⇒ \theta = tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x}

Now, differentiating w.r.t x:

\frac{d\theta }{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x} -  tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}]

For maximum angle, \frac{d\theta }{dx} = 0

Now,

0 = [/tex]\frac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x} -  tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}][/tex]

0 = \frac{-(d + h)}{(d + h)^{2} + x^{2}} -\frac{-d}{x^{2} + d^{2}}

\frac{-(d + h)}{(d + h)^{2} + x^{2}} = \frac{{d}{x^{2} + d^{2}}

After solving the above eqn, we get

x = \sqrt{\frac{d}{d + h}}

The observer should stand at a distance equal to x = \sqrt{\frac{d}{d + h}}

If you peel two strips of transparent tape off the same roll and immediately let them hang near each other, they will repel each
g100num [7]

Answer:

1.

Firstly removing off one strip and it leaves electrons behind, so the strip becomes positively charged.

2. The roll however is not negatively charged because it is "earthed " by the hand holding it, thus excess negatives repel each other away through the hand.

3.Tearing off the next strip and once more it leaves electrons behind, the new strip is also positively charged and will repel the first strip.

4. Then, tear two strips apart and one will leave electrons behind on the other. Meaning that one strip is positive and the other is negative and they will attract each other.

What's the mass show the work?
Alja [10]
You do this one just like the other one that I just solved for you.

For this one ...

The density of the object is 2.5 gm/cm³.
We know that every cm³ of it we have contains 2.5 gm of mass.
We have to find out how many cm³ we have.

The question tells us:  We have  2.0 cm³.

Each cm³ of space that the object occupies contains 2.5 gm of mass.

So the 2.0 cm³ that we have contains (2 x 2.5 gm) = 5 gms.
That's the mass of our object.
