A person is lying on a diving board 2.00 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th

e bottom of the pool directly below her. To her, the penny appears to be a distance of 8.00 m from her.
Required:
What is the depth of the water at this point?

Answer:

7.98 m

Explanation:

In the given question,

distance above surface= 2 m

Distance penny from person = 8 m

Since the swimming pool is filled with water and atmosphere has air therefore the refractive index phenomenon will occur.

The refractive index of water: air is 4/3 (1.33).

Using the formula, 4/3 = real depth, apparent depth

real depth= 4/3 x apparent depth

Now, calculating apparent depth = 8 - 2

= 6 m

therefore, real depth =  4/3 x apparent depth

= 1.33 x 6

= 7.98

thus, 7.98 m is the real depth of water.

What is the value of acceleration due to gravity at the pole, equator and the centre of the earth
fgiga [73]

Answer:

In combination, the equatorial bulge and the effects of the surface centrifugal force due to rotation mean that sea-level gravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2 at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles, so an object will weigh approximately 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.

A block of mass m is attached to a rope wound around the outer rim of a disk of radius R and moment of inertia I, which is free
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

I is the moment of inertia of the pulley, α is the angular acceleration of the pulley and T is the tension in the rope. Let a is the linear acceleration.

The relation between the linear acceleration and the angular acceleration is

a = R α   .... (1)

According to the diagram,

T x R = I x α

T x R = I x a / R      from equation (1)

T = I x a / R²      .... (2)

mg - T = ma    .... (3)

Substitute the value of T from equation (2) in equation (3)

mg - \frac{Ia}{R^{2}}=ma

a=\frac{mg}{m+\frac{I}{R^{2}}}

T is the acceleration in the system

Substitute the value of a in equation (2)

T = \frac{I}{R^{2}}\times \frac{mg}{m+\frac{I}{R^{2}}}

T=\frac{I\times mg}{I+mR^{2}}

This is the tension in the string.

A small apple weighs 0.8N. How much would an apple that is 4 times as massive weigh?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

W=31.99 N

Explanation:

W= 8 N (N= kg*m/ s^2)

W= m* g

8 N= m * 9.8 m/s^2

m= 0.816 kg

m*4= (0.816)4

= 3.264 kg

W= mg

= (3.264 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)

W=31.99 N
