Answer:

10.69

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first know that the angle of refraction is given by the following equation:

n_water * sin (A_water) = n_air * sin (A_air)

where n is the refractive index, for water it is 1.33 and for air it is 1.

The angle (A) in the air is 22.8 °, and that of the water is unknown.

Replacing these values we have to:

1.33 * sin (A_water) = 1 * 0.387

sin (A_water) = 1 * 0.387 / 1.33

A_water = arc sin (0.2907) = 16.9 °

now for the tank depth:

h = D / tan (A_water)

D = 3.25

Replacing

h = 3.25 / tan 16.9 °

h = 10.69

Therefore the depth is 10.69 meters.

it takes 63 minutes for four people to paint nine walls how many minutes does it take seven people to paint four walls?
joja [24]

Answer:

16 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 63 minutes to paint 9 walls then it means for every wall, it takes 63/9=7 minutes

Since it is 4 people working for 7 mins, the individual rate is 4/7 minutes per person

When we have 7 people, then the number minutes they take will be 7*4/7=4 minutes per wall

4 min per wall for 4 walls then total time will be 4*4=16 minutes
