Answer:

d = 5.75m

Explanation:

Using snell's law, we have,

n₁ × sin(i) = n₂ × 2 × sin(r)

n1= refractive index of 1st medium= 1

n2=  refractive index of 2nd medium = 1.33

r= angle of reflection

therefore,

r = \sin^{-1}\frac{n_1\sin i}{n_2}

Here,

i = 90 - θ

\theta = \tan^-^1(\frac{1.5}{3} )\\\\=26.56^\circ

r = \sin^{-1}\frac{n_1\sin i}{n_2}

r = \sin^{-1}\frac{(1)\sin (90-26.56)}{1.33}\\\\r = 42.26m

\tan r = \frac{2.5}{d_1}

d_1 = \frac{2.5}{\tan (42.26)} \\\\d_1 = 2.75m

Therefore, the distance is

d = 3 + d₁

d = 3 + 2.75

d = 5.75m

A ventilating fan is operated by 0.5hp electric motor. How much work in joules can the fan do in 3 hours? (I need the answer asa
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Power= 0.5hp = 375W

T = 3hrs = 10800s

Power = Work done/ Time

Work = Power * Time = 375 * 10800 = 4050000J

4 (JAMB) The diagram below shows a light see-saw, which is balanced horizontally by the weights W₁, W2, W3, W4 in the positions
damaskus [11]

The equation that represents the principle of the lever balance is:

  • W₁ + W₂ = W3 + W4; option A.

<h3>What is the principle of moments?</h3>

The principle of moments states when a body is in equilibrium, the sum of the clockwise moment about a point equals the sum of anticlockwise moment about that point.

A see-saw represents a balanced system of moments.

The sum of clockwise moment = The sum of anticlockwise moments.

Assuming W1 and W2 are clockwise moments and W3 and W4 are anticlockwise moments.

The equation will b:  W₁ + W₂ = W3 + W4

In conclusion, a balanced see-saw illustrates the principle of the lever balance.
