Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

He's pulled upwards by the parachute. The formula is given below. Details are found   searching for terminal velocity.

V_t=\sqrt\frac{2mg}{\rho A C_d}

Whatever that calculation turns out to be, a person has to be going a whole lot slower before he can safely hit the ground. The parachute is designed so that the person will be slowed very quickly to a safe velocity so when he hits the ground the impulse will not be as great as it could be. The force that the parachute delivers acts upward and opposes the force of gravity which is a downward force.

A slit of width 2.0 μm is used in a single slit experiment with light of wavelength 650 nm. If the intensity at the central maxi
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The intensity at 10° from the center is 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

Explanation:

The intensity of light I = I₀(sinα/α)² where α = πasinθ/λ

I₀ = maximum intensity of light

a = slit width = 2.0 μm = 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ m

θ = angle at intensity point = 10°

λ = wavelength of light = 650 nm = 650 × 10⁻⁹ m

α = πasinθ/λ

= π(2.0 × 10⁻⁶ m)sin10°/650 × 10⁻⁹ m

= 1.0911/650 × 10³

= 0.001679 × 10³

= 1.679

Now, the intensity I is

I = I₀(sinα/α)²

= I₀(sin1.679/1.679)²

= I₀(0.0293/1.679)²

= 0.0175²I₀

= 0.0003063I₀

= 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

So, the intensity at 10° from the center is 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

Agri-Chem's contract with Enerco specified a maximum of 90,000 cu.ft. X 103 per day for its complexes. However, curtailments are
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Caustic soda would be least affected by a gas curtailment

Explanation:

Let,

X1= ammonia

X2= ammonium phosphate

X3= ammonium nitrate

X4 = Urea

X5= hydro-fluoric acid

X6= Chlorine

X7= Caustic soda

X8= Vinyl chloride monomer.

Agri chem’s current natural gas usage

= (1200 × 8 + 540 × 10 + 490 × 12 + …)                  

= 85,680,000 cu. ft. per day  

When, the curtailment is 20%, availability is

= 0.8 X  85,680

= 68,554,000 cu. ft. per day

Therefore, the gas constant

= 8X1 + 10X2 + 12X3 + 12X4 + 7X5 + 18X6 + 20X7 + 14X8 ≤68,544

When, the curtailment is 40% availability is

= 0.6 X 85,680

= 51,408,000 cu. ft. per day

Constant = 8X1 + 10X2 + 12X3 + 12X4 + 7X5 + 18X6 + 20X7 + 14X8≤ 51,408
