Modern commercial airliners are largely made of aluminum, a light and strong metal. But the fact that aluminum is cheap enough t

hat airplanes can be made out of it is a bit of historical luck. Before the discovery of the Hall-Héroult process in , aluminum was as rare and expensive as gold. What would happen if airplanes had to be made of steel? The fuselage of the Boeing 747, which can carry passengers, is approximately a hollow aluminum cylinder without ends, long, wide, and thick (see sketch at right). The fuselage of an airplane Suppose this fuselage was made of steel (density ) instead of aluminum (density ), and let's say the average passenger has a mass of . We'll also assume the engines can't lift any greater mass than they already do. Calculate the number of passengers that the Boeing 747 could carry if its fuselage was made of steel.

Answer:

 n = 291 people

Explanation:

To solve this interesting problem we are going to take some data from the tables, the density of 7075 aluminum is 2.8 103 kg / m³, the density of 316 stainless steel is 7980 kg / m³, where we have selected one of the most used alloys in for its resistance.

The average mass of a passenger is mo = 80kg and the Boeing 747 aircraft can carry 550 passengers and a crew of 18 people with a length of 70.66 m,

Let's start by calculating the mass of the empty plane and the mass of the passengers

         ρ_Al = m_Al / V

         m_Al = ρ_Al V

         m_passenger= #_pasajeros 80

         m_passenger = 550 m₀

         

The total mass of the plane is

          M = m_passengers + m_Al

If the plane is built face to face, the mass of this material is

        ρ_Acero = m_steel / V

         

the total mass of avino is

         M = m_pasajeros` + m_steel

As they indicate the total mass of the plane must remain constant

         m_passengers + m_Al = m_passengers` + m_steel

let's substitute the values

         550 m₀ + 2.8 103 V = n m₀ + 7.98 103 V

where V is the volume of the material used which is the same in both cases

         n = 550 mo + (2.8 - 7.98) 103 V = n mo

         n = n = 550 + (2.8 - 7.98) 103 V / mo

The calculation of the volume of material used depends on the thickness of the sheet and the resistance of the material, if it assumes that it has the same thickness, e = 1 cm, approximate the volume to the length of the circle by the length of the cylinder by the thickness

         V = (2π r) L e

  the diameter of the plane approximately the height of the person

         d = 1.8 m

         V = 2π (1.8 / 2) 70.66 1 10⁻²

         V = 3.9957 m³

  we substitute

          n = 550 - 5.18 10³ (3.9957) / 80

          n = 550 - 258.7

          n = 291 people

Silver has a work function of 4.5 eV . Part A What is the longest wavelength of light that will release an electron from a silve
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm

Explanation:

The work function of a metallic surface is the minimum amount of photon energy required to release the photo-electrons from the surface of metal. The work function is given by the following formula:

Work Function = hc/λ

where,

Work Function = (4.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV) = 7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = longest wavelength capable of releasing electron.

Therefore,

7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm</u>

suppose that you look into a photometer's eyepiece and the fluorescent disks appear to be equal in intensity. If the distance be
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Use the Inverse square law, Intensity (I) of a light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d).

I=1/(d*d)

Let Intensity for lamp 1 is L1 distance be D1 so on, L2 D2 for Intensity for lamp 2 and its distance.

L1/L2=(D2*D2)/(D1*D1)

L1/15=(200*200)/(400*400)
L1=15*0.25
