Answer:

Between 100 and 120 million years old

Explanation:

The principle of superposition refers to one of the geological principles used in the determining the relative depositional history or sequence of rock stratas in geologic stratigraphic study. The superposition principle explains that rocks deposited in stratas with the oldest rock layer being at the base and the youngest at the topmost layer. Hence using this principle, we can conclude that ; Rock layer M lies in between layer T and R ; thus M is younger than T and older than R. Therefore, the age of M will be between the range of age T and R.

The MAC is 58 inches, The CG limits are from 26% to 43% MAC. If the CG is found to be
eimsori [14]

By working with percentages, we want to see how many inches is the center of gravity out of the limits. We will find that the CG is 1.45 inches out of limits.

<h3>What are the limits?</h3>

First, we need to find the limits.

We know that the MAC is 58 inches, and the limits are from 26% to 43% MAC.

So if 58 in is the 100%, the 26% and 43% of that are:

  • 26% → (26%/100%)*58in = 0.26*58 in = 15.08 in
  • 43% → (43%/100%)*58in = 0.43*58 in = 24.94 in.

But we know that the CG is found to be 45.5% MAC, then it measures:

(45.5%/100%)*58in = 0.455*58in = 26.39 in

We need to compare it with the largest limit, so we get:

26.39 in - 24.94 in = 1.45 in

This means that the CG is 1.45 inches out of limits.

A simple pendulum has a period of 3.45 second, when the length of the pendulum is shortened by 1.0m, the period is 2.81 second c
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Original length = 2.97 m

Explanation:

Let the original length of the pendulum be 'L' m

Given:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Original time period of the pendulum (T) = 3.45 s

Now, the length is shortened by 1.0 m. So, the new length is 1 m less than the original length.

New length of the pendulum is, L_1=L-1

New time period of the pendulum is, T_1=2.81\ s

We know that, the time period of a simple pendulum of length 'L' is given as:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}-------------- (1)

So, for the new length, the time period is given as:

T_1=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L_1}{g}}------------ (2)

Squaring both the equations and then dividing them, we get:

\dfrac{T^2}{T_1^2}=\dfrac{(2\pi)^2\frac{L}{g}}{(2\pi)^2\frac{L_1}{g}}\\\\\\\dfrac{T^2}{T_1^2}=\dfrac{L}{L_1}\\\\\\L=\dfrac{T^2}{T_1^2}\times L_1

Now, plug in the given values and calculate 'L'. This gives,

L=\frac{3.45^2}{2.81^2}\times (L-1)\\\\L=1.507L-1.507\\\\L-1.507L=-1.507\\\\-0.507L=-1.507\\\\L=\frac{-1.507}{-0.507}=2.97\ m

Therefore, the original length of the simple pendulum is 2.97 m
