Answer:

No. The crown is made of lead

Explanation:

From Archimedes principle,

D/D' = W/U

Where D = density of the crown, D' = Density of water, W = weight of the crown in air, U = Upthrust of the crown in water.

make D the subject of the equation,

D = D'(W/U)................... Equation 1

W = mg

Where g = 9.8 m/s², m = 14.7 kg.

W = 14.7(9.8) = 144.06 N.

U = 9.8(14.7-13.4) = 12.74 N.

Constant: D' = 1000 kg/m³

Substitute into equation 1

D = 1000(144.06/12.74)

D = 11307.69 kg/m³

Density of the crown = 11307.69 kg/m³

And Density of Gold = 19300 kg/m³

From the above, The crown is not made of Gold

How do longshore currents shape the land?
Sonbull [250]
Longshore drift has a very powerful influence on the shape and composition of the coastline. It changes the slopes of beaches and creates long, narrow shoals of land called spits, that extend out from shore. Longshore drift may also create or destroy entire “barrier islands” along a shoreline.

7.22 Ignoring reflection at the air–water boundary, if the amplitude of a 1 GHz incident wave in air is 20 V/m at the water surf
Serga [27]

Answer:

z = 0.8 (approx)

Explanation:

given,

Amplitude of 1 GHz incident wave in air = 20 V/m

Water has,

μr = 1

at 1 GHz, r = 80 and σ = 1 S/m.

depth of water when amplitude is down to  1 μV/m

Intrinsic impedance of air = 120 π  Ω

Intrinsic impedance of  water = \dfrac{120\pi}{\epsilon_r}

Using equation to solve the problem

  E(z) = E_0 e^{-\alpha\ z}

E(z) is the amplitude under water at z depth

E_o is the amplitude of wave on the surface of water

z is the depth under water

\alpha = \dfrac{\sigma}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{(120\pi)^2}{\Epsilon_r}}

\alpha = \dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{(120\pi)^2}{80}}

\alpha =21.07\ Np/m

now ,

  1 \times 10^{-6} = 20 e^{-21.07\times z}

  e^{21.07\times z}= 20\times 10^{6}

taking ln both side

21.07 x z = 16.81

z = 0.797

z = 0.8 (approx)
