In order to answer this question, I realized that I needed to know the index
of refraction for ruby, so I went and looked it up.  It's  1.762 to 1.770 .

I started trying to remember how to use this number and the critical angle
to find the index of refraction of the other medium.  That's when I saw the
absurd unit "degrees celsius" for the critical angle, and I got discouraged.
But I perked up very quickly, when I realized that I'm still on the "index of
refraction" list, and while I'm there, I might as well just go ahead and
look up ethyl alcohol too.

It's  1.36  .

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years. Convert this distance
alukav5142 [94]

Explanation:

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years.  

Light year is the unit of distance covered by the heavenly bodies. 1 light year is equal to :

1\ light\ year=3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches

So, 4.218\ light\ year=4.218\times 3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches

4.218\ light\ year=1.56\times 10^{18}\ inches

We need to convert 4.218 light-years barley corns.  

Since, 1 barleycorn = 1/3 inch  

1\ inch=3\ barleycorn

1.56\times 10^{18}\ inches=3\times 1.56\times 10^{18}=4.68\times 10^{18}\ barleycorn

So, the nearest star to the Earth is at a distance of 4.68\times 10^{18}\ barleycorn. Hence, this is the required solution.

Gravity is pushing you down on the earth while the friction from the ground is pushing you up. Those are the two frictions you must overcome when walking.
