A box exerts 10,000 Pa of pressure on the ground. If the box weighs 1000 N, how much area is in contact with the ground?

Pressure = (total force) / (Area)

10,000 Pa = (1,000 N) / (Area)

Multiply each side by (Area) :

(10,000 Pa) x (Area) = 1,000 N

Divide each side by (10,000 Pa) :

Area = (1,000 N) / (10,000 Pa)

I need both parts please (a) Given a material with an attenuation coefficient (a) of 0.6/cm, what is the intensity of a beam (wi

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

After it has traveled through 1 cm : $I(1 \ cm) = 0.5488 I_0$

After it has traveled through 2 cm : $I(2 \ cm) = 0.3012 I_0$

After it has traveled through 1 cm : $od( 1\ cm) = 0.2606$

After it has traveled through 2 cm : $od( 2\ cm) = 0.5211$

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use the Beer-Lambert law. For constant attenuation coefficient $\mu$ the formula is:

$I(x) = I_0 e^{-\mu x}$

where I is the intensity of the beam, $I_0$ is the incident intensity and x is the length of the material traveled.

For our problem, after travelling 1 cm:

$I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6 \frac{1}{cm} \ 1 cm}$

$I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6}$

$I(1 \ cm) = 0.5488 \ I_0$

After travelling 2 cm:

$I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6 \frac{1}{cm} \ 2 cm}$

$I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 1.2}$

$I(2 \ cm) = 0.3012 \ I_0$

The optical density od is given by:

$od(x) = - log_{10} ( \frac{I(x)}{I_0} )$ .

So, after travelling 1 cm:

$od( 1\ cm) = - log_{10} ( \frac{0.5488 \ I_0}{I_0} )$

$od( 1\ cm) = - log_{10} ( 0.5488 )$

$od( 1\ cm) = - ( - 0.2606)$

$od( 1\ cm) = 0.2606$

After travelling 2 cm:

$od( 2\ cm) = - log_{10} ( \frac{0.3012 \ I_0}{I_0} )$

$od( 2\ cm) = - log_{10} ( 0.3012 )$

$od( 2\ cm) = - ( - 0.5211)$

$od( 2\ cm) = 0.5211$

A hill that has a 36.1% grade is one that rises 36.1 m vertically for every 100.0 ml of distance in the horizontal direction. At

GaryK [48]

Answer:

angle is 19.85°

Explanation:

given data

grade = 36.1 %

vertically distance y = 36.1 m

horizontal distance x = 100 m

to find out

angle

solution

we know that according to question here

it make a triangle shape that contain 100 m base and height 36.1 m

and make angle with base is θ

so by triangle we know here

tanθ = y/x ..........1

so we now put x and y and find θ

tanθ = 36.1 / 100

tanθ = 0.361

θ = 19.85°

so angle is 19.85°
