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

A displacement is related to time as x = A sin(2?ft), where A and f are constants. Find the dimensions of A. [Hint: A trigonomet
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The right option is C. i.e L

Explanation:

Dimension of a quantity is the collection of the indexes of each of the fundamental quantities contained in it.

Therefore, to get the dimension of A in the equation

X=Asin(2(pi)ft)

Making A the subject of the formula

A = X / (sin(2(pi)ft)

Since sin(2(pi)ft which is a trigonometric function does not have a dimension

A = L

The dimension of A is L
