Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

$d=\frac{1.22\times 640\times 10^{-9}\times 21.7}{7.35\times 10^{-2}}=2305.21\times 10^{-7}m$

Explanation:

The expression which represent the first diffraction minima by a circular aperture is given by $d sin\Theta =1.22\lambda$ --------eqn 1

The angle through which the first minima is diffracted is given by $tan\Theta =\frac{y_1}{D}$ ---------eqn 2

As $\Theta$ is very small so we can write $sin\Theta =tan\Theta$

So from eqn 1 and eqn 2 we can write

$y_1=\frac{1.22\lambda D}{d}$ --------eqn 3

Here $y_1$ is the position of first maxima D is the distance of screen from the circular aperture d is the diameter of aperture

It is given that diameter of circular aperture is 14.7 cm so $y_1=\frac{14.7}{2}=7.35 \ cm$

Now putting all these value in eqn 3

$d=\frac{1.22\lambda D}{y_1}$

$d=\frac{1.22\times 640\times 10^{-9}\times 21.7}{7.35\times 10^{-2}}=2305.21\times 10^{-7}m$

An 8 foot metal guy wire is attached to a broken stop sign to secure its position until repairs can be made. Attached to a stake

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The guy wire is making a right angled triangle with the ground and stop sign . It makes an angle of 51 degree with the ground. In this triangle stop sign is the perpendicular and distance from the base on the ground forms the base of the triangle . Wire forms the hypotenuse.

base / hypotenuse = cos51

base = hypotenuse x cos51

= 8 x cos51

= 5.03 ft .

The distance of the stake with which guy wire was attached from the foot of the stop sign is 5.03 ft .

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

A. 3.4 m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 56.7N

Workdone = 195J

To find the distance

Workdone is given by the formula;

$Workdone = force * distance$

Making "distance" the subject of formula, we have;

$Distance = \frac {workdone}{force}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Distance = \frac {195}{56.7}$

Distance = 3.4 meters.
