A surveyor measures the distance across a river that flows straight north by the following method. Starting directly across from

a tree on the opposite bank, the surveyor walks distance, D = 130 m along the river to establish a baseline. She then sights across to the tree and reads that the angle from the baseline to the tree is an angle θ = 25°. How wide is the river?

Answer:

The width of the river is  z = 60.62 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The distance of the base line is D = 130 m

       The angle is  \theta =  25^o

A diagram illustration the question is shown on the first uploaded image

    Applying Trigonometric Rules for Right-angled Triangle,

            tan  25 =  \frac{z}{130}

Now making  z the subject

           z = 130 * tan (25)

          z = 60.62 \ m

A nonconducting spherical shell, with an inner radius of 4 cm and an outer radius of 6 cm, has charge spread nonuniformly throug
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

1.57 * 10^{3} Q

Explanation:

The volume charge density is defined by ρ = \frac{Q}{V} (Equation A), where Q is the charge and V, the volume.

The units in the S.I. are \frac{Coulombs}{m^{3} }, so we have to express the radius in meters:

inner radius = 4 cm * \frac{1 m}{100 cm} = 0.04m

outer radius = 6 cm * \frac{1m}{100cm}  = 0.06m

Now, we know that the volume of the sphere is calculated by the formula:

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}, and as we have an spherical shell, the volume is calculated by the difference between the outher and inner spheres:

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (r_{o} ^{3} - r_{i} ^{3}), where r_{o} is the outer radius and r_{i} is the inner radius.

Replacing the volume formula in the Equation A:

ρ = \frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi(r^{3} _{o}-r_{i} ^{3})}

ρ = \frac{3Q}{4\pi (r_{o} ^{3}-r_{i} ^{3} ) }

Replacing the values of the outer and inner radius whe have:

ρ = \frac{3Q}{4\pi (1.52 * 10^{-4})}

ρ = 1.57 * 10^{3} Q
