At which angle must a laser beam enter the water for no refraction to occur?
abruzzese [7]

Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).

Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.

Moral of the story:  If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.

What is the overall moment?
Setler79 [48]
A moment causes a rotation about or axis. If the moment is to be taken about a point due to a force F, then in order for a moment to develop, the line of action cannot pass through that point...... the total moment was zero because the moment arm was zero as well

Sort the forces as producing a torque of positive, negative, or zero magnitude about the rotational axis identified in part
Fantom [35]

a) Angular acceleration: 17.0 rad/s^2

b) Weight: conterclockwise torque, reaction force: zero torque

Explanation:

a)

In this problem, you are holding the pencil at its end: this means that the pencil will rotate about this point.

The only force producing a torque on the pencil is the weight of the pencil, of magnitude

W=mg

where m is the mass of the pencil and g the acceleration of gravity.

However, when the pencil is rotating around its end, only the component of the weight tangential to its circular trajectory will cause an angular acceleration. This component of the weight is:

W_p =mg sin \theta

where \theta is the angle of the rod with respect to the vertical.

The weight act at the center of mass of the pencil, which is located at the middle of the pencil. So the torque produced is

\tau = W_p \frac{L}{2}=mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta

where L is the length of the pencil.

The relationship between torque and angular acceleration \alpha is

\tau = I \alpha (1)

where

I=\frac{1}{3}mL^2

is the moment of inertia of the pencil with respect to its end.

Substituting into (1) and solving for \alpha, we find:

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{mg\frac{L}{2}sin \theta}{\frac{1}{3}mL^2}=\frac{3 g sin \theta}{2L}

And assuming that the length of the pencil is L = 15 cm = 0.15 m, the angular acceleration when \theta=10^{\circ} is

\alpha = \frac{3(9.8)(sin 10^{\circ})}{2(0.15)}=17.0 rad/s^2

b)

There are only two forces acting on the pencil here:

- The weight of the pencil, of magnitude mg

- The normal reaction of the hand on the pencil, R

The torque exerted by each force is given by

\tau = Fd

where F is the magnitude of the force and d the distance between the force and the pivot point.

For the weight, we saw in part a) that the torque is

\tau =mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta

For the reaction force, the torque is zero: this is because the reaction force is applied exctly at the pivot point, so d = 0, and therefore the torque is zero.

Therefore:

- Weight: counterclockwise torque (I have assumed that the pencil is held at its right end)

- Reaction force: zero torque
