A plane mirror of circular shape with radius r=20cm is fixed to the ceiling. A bulb is to be placed on the axis of the mirror. A

circular area of r=1m on the floor is to be illuminated after reflection of light from mirror.The height of the room is 3m.What is maximum distance from the centre of the mirror and the bulb so that the required area is illuminated?

Answer:

0.75 m

Explanation:

Let's call the distance between the bulb and the mirror x.

The bulb and the length of the mirror form a triangle.  The mirror and the illuminated area on the floor form a trapezoid.  If we extend the lines from the mirror edge to the reflected image of the bulb, we turn that trapezoid into a large triangle.  This triangle and the small triangle are similar.  So we can say:

x / 0.4 = (3 + x) / 2

Solving for x:

2x = 0.4 (3 + x)

2x = 1.2 + 0.4 x

1.6 x = 1.2

x = 0.75

So the bulb should located no more than 0.75 m from the mirror.

Suppose we wrap a string around the surface of a uniform cylinder of radius 38.0 cm that is supported by an axle passing through
liraira [26]

Answer:

Angular acceleration = 23.68 rad / s²

Explanation:

Given that,

acceleration = 9m/s²

Therefore acceleration of string is 9m/s²

since string is constant in length

cylinder of radius 38.0 cm = 0.38m

Angular acceleration = a / r

Angular acceleration = 9 / 0.38

                                   = 23.68 rad / s²

Angular acceleration = 23.68 rad / s²
