lasers 1 and 2 emit light of the same color, and the electric field in the beam of laser 1 is twice as strong as the e-field of

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The intensity of laser 2 is 4 times of the intensity of laser 1.

Explanation:

The intensity in terms of electric field is given by :

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\epsilon_o E^2$

E is electric field

It means, $U\propto E^2$

In this problem, lasers 1 and 2 emit light of the same color, and the electric field in the beam of laser 1 is twice as strong as the e-field of laser 2.

Let E is electric field in the beam of laser 1 and E' is the electric field in the beam of laser 2. So,

$\dfrac{U}{U'}=(\dfrac{E}{E'})^2$

We have,

E'=2E

So,

$\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{E^2}{(2E)^2}\\\\\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{E^2}{4E^2}\\\\\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\U'=4\times U$

So, the intensity of laser 2 is 4 times of the intensity of laser 1.

The atmospheric pressure on the top of the Engineering Sciences Building (ESB) is 97.6 kPa, while that in Room G39-ESB (ground f

Stells [14]

Answer:

Δ h = 52.78 m

Explanation:

given,

Atmospheric pressure at the top of building = 97.6 kPa

Atmospheric pressure at the bottom of building = 98.2 kPa

Density of air = 1.16 kg/m³

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

height of the building = ?

We know,

Δ P = ρ g Δ h

(98.2-97.6) x 10³ = 1.16 x 9.8 x Δ h

11.368 Δ h = 600

Δ h = 52.78 m

Hence, the height of the building is equal to 52.78 m.

Pikes Peak near Denver, Colorado, has an elevation of 14,110 ft. Calculate the pressure at this elevation using three different

kramer

Answer:

a) P = 1240 lb/ft^2

b) P = 1040 lb/ft^2

c) P = 1270 lb/ft^2

Explanation:

Given:

- P_a = 2216.2 lb/ft^2

- β = 0.00357 R/ft

- g = 32.174 ft/s^2

- T_a = 518.7 R

- R = 1716 ft-lb / slug-R

- γ = 0.07647 lb/ft^3

- h = 14,110 ft

Find:

(a) Determine the pressure at this elevation using the standard atmosphere equation.

(b) Determine the pressure assuming the air has a constant specific weight of 0.07647 lb/ft3.

Solution:

- The standard atmospheric equation is expressed as:

P = P_a* ( 1 - βh/T_a)^(g / R*β)

(g / R*β) = 32.174 / 1716*0.0035 = 5.252

P = 2116.2*(1 - 0.0035*14,110/518.7)^5.252

P = 1240 lb/ft^2

- The air density method which is expressed as:

P = P_a - γ*h

P = 2116.2 - 0.07647*14,110

P = 1040 lb/ft^2

- Using constant temperature ideal gas approximation:

P = P_a* e^ ( -g*h / R*T_a )

P = 2116.2* e^ ( -32.174*14110 / 1716*518.7 )

P = 1270 lb/ft^2

A rectangular box has side 10cm x 5cm x 2cm. If it lies on a horizontal surface and has weight 1.00N, calculate the maximum and

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

P max = 1000 pa

P min = 200 pa

Explanation:

P = F/A

pressure will be maximum when surface gets minimum. so to find the maximum amount of pressure we need to calculate the minimum surface. it is 2cm×5cm = 10cm² = 0.001m² . then we have:

P = 1 / 0.001 = 1000 pa

to find minimum pressure the surface that must be chosen is 10cm×5cm = 50cm² = 0.005m² .

P = 1 / 0.005 = 200 pa
