Answer:

The critical angle for light is 41.81 degrees.

Explanation:

We have, light is propagating from a material with index of refraction of 1.50 to a material with index of refraction of 1. It is required to find the critical angle for light. It is angle for which the angle of refraction is equal to 90 degrees. It is given by :

\sin\theta_c=\dfrac{n_2}{n_1}\\\\\theta_c=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n_2}{n_1})\\\\\theta_c=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1}{1.5})\\\\\theta_c=41.81^{\circ}

So, the critical angle for light is 41.81 degrees.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

reading of scale = reaction force of surface R

centripetal force = R - mg = m v² / R , m is mass , v is velocity and R is radius of the circular path .

R = mg + m v² / R

given ,

m v² / R = .80 mg

v² = .80 x g x R

= .8 x 9.8 x 9 = 70.56

v = 8.4 m /s

The flagpole is held vertical by two ropes. The first of these ropes has a tension in it of 100 N and is at an angle of 60° to t
KatRina [158]

Answer:

T₂ = 123.9 N,  θ = 66.2º

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we use the law of equilibrium, since the diaphragm does not appear, let's use the adjoint to see the forces in the system.

The tension T1 = 100 N, we create a reference frame centered on the pole

X axis

       T₁ₓ - T_{2x} = 0

        T_{2x}= T₁ₓ

Y axis y

      T_{1y} + T_{2y} - 200N = 0

      T_{2y} = 200 -T_{1y}

let's use trigonometry to find the component of the stresses

         sin 60 = T_{1y} / T₁

         cos 60 = t₁ₓ / T₁

         T_{1y} = T₁ sin 60

         T1x = T₁ cos 60

         T_{1y}y = 100 sin 60 = 86.6 N

         T₁ₓ = 100 cos 60 = 50 N

for voltage 2 it is done in the same way

         T_{2y} = T₂ sin θ

         T₂ₓ = T₂ cos θ

we substitute

         

           T₂ sin θ= 200 - 86.6 = 113.4

           T₂ cos θ = 50              (1)

to solve the system we divide the two equations

           tan θ = 113.4 / 50

           θ = tan⁻¹ 2,268

           θ = 66.2º

we caption in equation 1

           T₂ cos 66.2 = 50

           T₂ = 50 / cos 66.2

           T₂ = 123.9 N
