Answer:
Thus the time taken is calculated as 387.69 years
Solution:
As per the question:
Half life of
= 28.5 yrs
Now,
To calculate the time, t in which the 99.99% of the release in the reactor:
By using the formula:

where
N = No. of nuclei left after time t
= No. of nuclei initially started with

(Since, 100% - 99.99% = 0.01%)
Thus

Taking log on both the sides:


t = 387.69 yrs
Answer:
T = 692.42 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of hammer, m = 8.71 kg
Length of the chain to which an athlete whirls the hammer, r = 1.5 m
The angular sped of the hammer, 
We need to find the tension in the chain. The tension acting in the chain is balanced by the required centripetal force. It is given by the formula as follows :

So, the tension in the chain is 692.42 N.
