Point A is located on the western bank of a river, and point C is located directly across stream on the eastern bank. The river

is 648.6 m wide and flows due south at 2.54 km/hr. A boat wants to cross the river from point A to point C. Determine the bearing and velocity that must be maintained by the boat in order to arrive at point C in 10 minutes.

Answer:

1.29 m/s ∠ 35.2°

Explanation:

Let consider point A and C are in horizontal direction and the stream flows in vertical direction.

Horizontal Velocity:

The boat has to cross the river in 10 minutes and reach point C.

so V<em>i= </em>648.6/(10*60) m/s

Vi=1.08 m/s

Vertical Velocity:

The water will flow the boat in south direction, to reach point C the boat need to acquire same velocity in the opposite direction of river flow.

so

Vj= (2.54 km)/(1 hr) = (2.54*1000 m)/3600 sec

Vj= 0.706 m/s

Magnitude of Velocity:

V=\sqrt{vi^{2}  +vj^{2} }

V= \sqrt{(1.08)^{2}+(0.706)^{2} } }

V=1.29 m/s

Direction of boat:

∅=tan^{-1 } (vj/vx)

∅=tan^{-1 } (0.706/1.08)

∅=35.2°

Monochromatic light passes through a double slit, producing interference, the distance between the slit centres is 1.2 mm and th
Alik [6]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 7200\ \AA.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the slit centers d= 1.2 mm

Distance between constructive fringes \beta= 0.3\ cm

Distance between fringe and screen D= 5 m

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of width

\beta=\dfrac{D\lambda}{d}

Put the value into the formula

0.3\times10^{-2}=\dfrac{5\times\lambda}{1.2\times10^{-3}}

\lambda=\dfrac{0.3\times10^{-2}\times1.2\times10^{-3}}{5}

\lambda=7.2\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=7200\ \AA

Hence, The wavelength of the light is 7200\ \AA.
