Explanation:

Given that,

Number of slits per cm, N=3900\ lines/cm=390000\lines/m

The third fringe is obtained at an angle of, \theta=28

We need to find the wavelength of light used. The grating equation is given by :

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

d=\dfrac{1}{N}=\dfrac{1}{390000}

d=2.56\times 10^{-6}\ m

\lambda=\dfrac{d\ sin\theta}{n}, n = 3

\lambda=\dfrac{2.56\times 10^{-6}\times \ sin(28)}{3}

\lambda=4.006\times 10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=400\ nm

So, the wavelength of the light is 400 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

  • Fx = -9.15 N
  • Fy = 1.72 N
  • F∠γ ≈ 9.31∠-10.6°

Explanation:

You apparently want the sum of forces ...

  F = 8.80∠-56° +7.00∠52.8°

Your angle reference is a bit unconventional, so we'll compute the components of the forces as ...

  f∠α = (-f·cos(α), -f·sin(α))

This way, the 2nd quadrant angle that has a negative angle measure will have a positive y component.

  = -8.80(cos(-56°), sin(-56°)) -7.00(cos(52.8°), sin(52.8°))

  ≈ (-4.92090, 7.29553) +(-4.23219, -5.57571)

  ≈ (-9.15309, 1.71982)

The resultant component forces are ...

  • Fx = -9.15 N
  • Fy = 1.72 N

Then the magnitude and direction of the resultant are

  F∠γ = (√(9.15309² +1.71982²))∠arctan(-1.71982/9.15309)

  F∠γ ≈ 9.31∠-10.6°
