For this case, the first thing we must do is define a reference system.
Suppose that the positive direction of the reference system is upward.
We have that the sum of forces in the vertical axis is given by:
Fy = Fp - Fg
Substituting values:
Fy = 5500 - 6000
Fy = - 500
The negative sign means that the direction of the force with respect to the defined coordinate system is downward.
Answer:
The net force is:
↓ 500N
The object will continue moving in a straight line at constant speed.
The solution for this problem is:
For 1st minimum, let m be equal to 1.
d = slit width
D = screen distance.
Θ = arcsin (m * lambda/ (d))
= 0.13934 rad, 7.9836 deg
y = D*tan (Θ)
y = 6.50 * tan (7.9836)
= 0.91161 m is the distance from the central maximum to the first-order minimum
A force over distance is work the unite is joules
We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material
Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.
One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.
This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.
