A solid concrete block weighs 140 N and is resting on the ground. Its dimensions are 0.370 m x 0.150 m x 0.0820 m. A number of i

dentical blocks are stacked on top of this one. What is the smallest number of whole bricks (including the one on the ground) that can be stacked so that their weight creates a pressure of at least two atmospheres on the ground beneath the first block? (Hint: First decide which face of the brick is in contact with the ground.)

Answer: 18 blocks in total ( 17 add to the original in contact with the ground)

Explanation:

The pressure on the face in contact with the ground ( we choose the face 0.15m x 0.082m)

Pressure= Force ( weigth) /Area

1 Atm = 101325 Pascal [N/ m^2]

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.50, at an angle of incidence of 45°. Calc
balandron [24]

Answer:

Approximately 28^{\circ}.

Explanation:

The refractive index of the air n_{\text{air}} is approximately 1.00.

Let n_\text{glass} denote the refractive index of the glass block, and let \theta _{\text{glass}} denote the angle of refraction in the glass. Let \theta_\text{air} denote the angle at which the light enters the glass block from the air.

By Snell's Law:

n_{\text{glass}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) = n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}}).

Rearrange the Snell's Law equation to obtain:

\begin{aligned} \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) &= \frac{n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}{n_{\text{glass}}} \\ &= \frac{(1.00)\, (\sin(45^{\circ}))}{1.50} \\ &\approx 0.471\end{aligned}.

Hence:

\begin{aligned} \theta_{\text{glass}} &= \arcsin (0.471) \approx 28^{\circ}\end{aligned}.

In other words, the angle of refraction in the glass would be approximately 28^{\circ}.
