g When a laser light of unknown wavelength is passed through two narrow slits separated by 150 μm, an interference pattern is ob

served on a screen 1.5 m away. The distance between the central spot and first order constructive interference is found to be 5 mm. a) Find the wavelength of the laser light, in nanometers. (b) At what angle, in degrees, from the central spot is the second-order constructive interference formed?

Answer:

(a) 500 nm

(b) \theta = 0.382^{\circ}

Solution:

Slit separation, d = 150\mu m = 150\times 10^{- 6}\ m

Distance from the screen, x = 1.5 m

Distance between central spot and 1st order constructive interference, y_{1} = 5 mm = 5\times 10^{- 3}\ m

Now,

(a) To calculate the wavelength of laser light:

From Double-slit experiment, we know that the distance between the central fringe and the nth bright fringe is given by:

y_{n} = \frac{n\lambda x}{d}

where

n = 1

\lambda = wavelength of the light used

Thus

y_{1} = \frac{1.\lambda x}{d}

5\times 10^{- 3} = \frac{\lambda \times 1.5}{150\times 10^{- 6}}

\lambda = 5\times 10^{- 7}\ m = 500\ nm

(b) To calculate the angle for the formation of the constructive interference of second order:

Here

n = 2

Thus

y_{2} = \frac{2\lambda x}{d}

tan\theta = \frac{\frac{2\lambda x}{d}}{x} = \frac{2\lambda }{d}

tan\theta = \frac{2\times 500\times 10^{- 9}}{150\times 10^{- 6}}\ m

\theta = tan^{- 1} (6.67\times 10^{- 3})

\theta = 0.382^{\circ}

A tow truck is pulling 25,000 kg van with a tow hook that meets the van at an angle of 30° with the ground. How much force must
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

86605.08 N

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the force is:

Force = mass * acceleration

The force and the acceleration does not have the same direction in this case, so we need to decompose the force into its horizontal component, which is the force that will generate the horizontal acceleration:

Force_x = Force * cos(30)

Then, we have that:

Force_x = mass * acceleration

Force * cos(30) = 25000 * 3

Force * 0.866 = 75000

Force = 75000 / 0.866 = 86605.08 N

How would i solve for force when there are multiple accelerations?
damaskus [11]

"Multiple accelerations" is a puzzling phrase, and I'd be curious to understand it
better.  Sadly however, you haven't explained it at all.

If the multiple accelerations are the accelerations of multiple objects, then
the net force on each object is the product of (its mass) x (its acceleration).

If the multiple accelerations are the acceleration of one object at different times,
then at any instant of time, the net force on the object is the product of (its mass) x
(its acceleration at that instant).
