Answer:

A. 0.20 unpolarized and 0.80 plane polarized.

Explanation:

After passing through polaroid sheet , unpolarised portion will get reduced by half . So this portion becomes .20/ 2 = 0.10

The polarized portion can face two situation depending upon the angle of the polaroid.

It may either be cut off to zero. So total intensity of transmitted light  wil be .10 + 0 = .10

It may or be passed fully . In that case total intensity of transmitted light will become 0 .10 +0.80 =0.90

Ratio of these two light of maximum and minimum intensity is 0.90 / 0.10 = 9.

A thin plate 6 ft long and 3 ft wide is submerged and held stationary in a stream of water (T = 60°F) that has a velocity of 17
VashaNatasha [74]

A) In the case of the Boundary Thickness Layer we use the given formula,

\delta = \frac{4.91x}{\sqrt{Re}}

We know as well that,

Re = Número de Reynolds = \frac{U*x}{\upsilon}

Where,

U = velocity

\upsilon = kinematic viscosity

For water, kinematic viscosity, \upsilon = 1.21*10^{-5} ft^2 /s

So, 500,000 = \frac{ 17x}{(1.21*10^{-5})}

x = 0.355 ft

d = \frac{4.91*0.355}{\sqrt {500000}}

d = 0.002465 ft = 0.029in

B) For flat plate boundary layer. Given the Critical Reynolds Number.= 5*10^5 we know that is equal to Re above.

Thus, x = 0.355 ft

C. Wall shear stress,

\tau = \mu*\sqrt{ U^3 / (2*\nu*x) }

For water, dynamic viscosity, \nu = 2.344*10^-5 lbf-s/ft^2

\tau = 2.344*10^-5 \sqrt {17^3 / (2*1.21*10^{-5}*0.355)}

\tau = 0.5605 lbf/ft^2

Which FBD would represent a car moving right with a motor force of 250 N, and force of friction of 750N, a weight of 8500N and a
babymother [125]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Given that

Motor force is 250 N

Force of friction is 750 N

Weight is 8500 N

And, the normal force is 8500 N

Now based on the above information

Here length of the rector shows the relative magnitude forward force i.e. 250 N i..e lower than the frictional force i.e. backward and weight i.e. 8500 would be equivalent to the normal force
