In a movie, Tarzan evades his captors by hiding under water for many minutes while breathing through a long, thin reed. Assume t

hat the maximum pressure difference his lungs can manage and still breathe is -73 mm-Hg. 1 mm-Hg = 133 N/m2.
Determine the maximum distance below the water surface, at which Tarzan could breathe with the reed.

Answer: 0.98m

Explanation:

P = -74 mm Hg = 9605 Pa = 9709N/m^2

= 9605 kg m/s^2/m^2

density of water: rho = 1 g/cc = 1 (10^-3 kg)/(10^-2 m)^-3 = 1000 kg/m^3

Pressure equation: P = rho g h

h = P/(rho g)

h = (9605 kg/m/s^2) / (1000 kg/m^3) / (9.8 m/s^2)

h = 0.98 m

0.98m is the maximum depth he could have been.

Three equal point charges, each with charge 1.45 μCμC , are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

U = 80.91 J

Explanation:

In order to calculate the electric potential energy between the three charges you use the following formula:

U=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r_{1,2}}                  (1)

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2

q1: q2 charge

r1,2: distance between charges 1 and 2.

For the three charges you have:

U_T=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r_{1,2}}+k\frac{q_1q_3}{r_{1,3}}+k\frac{q_2q_3}{r_{2,3}}           (2)

You use the fact that q1=q2=q3=q and that the distance between charges are equal. Then, in the equation (2) you have:

q = 1.45μC = 1.45*10^-6C

r = 0.700mm = 0.700*10^-3m

U_T=3k\frac{q^2}{r}=3(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{(1.45*10^{-6}C)}{0.700*10^{-3}m}\\\\U_T=80.91J

The electric potential energy between the three charges is 80.91 J
