Answer:

14.49 g/cm²

Explanation:

I = Io e^-(ux)

Where:

I = 573

Io = 1045

x = 0.3 inches and

rho = 11.4g/cm^3

Using the conversion constant

1 inch = 2.54 cm;

0.3 inches = 0.3 * 2.54 cm

0.3 inches = 0.762 cm

I/Io = e^-(ux), or say

Io/I = e^(ux), taking the In of both sides

ln(Io/I) = ux, making u subject of formula

u = 1/x * ln(Io/I)

u = 1/0.762 * ln(1045/573)

u = 1.312 * 0.6

u = 0.787

Next, we say that

u/rho = 0.7872/11.4 = 0.069

And finally, we make

1/(u/rho) to be our final answer

Inverse of the answer is = 14.49 g/cm²

Therefore, the um^-1 in g/cm^2? is 14.49

Answer:

Re=160ohm

Explanation:

Step#1

Rt=R1+R2 ( because both are in series)

Rt=(100+220 ) ohm

Rt=320 ohm

Step#2

Rt and R3 are parallel so,

Re= (Rt× R3) ÷ (Rt+R3)

Re= (320×320)÷( 320+320)

Re = 102,400÷ 640

Re=160ohm
