You do it by the pressure difference it causes in the medium. Even in transversal waves, you usually need different units than meters because the wave has electric and magnetic vectors and not really any height to speak of.
you measure the amount of excursion from the equilibrium (no wave) level of whatever parameter is fluctuating.
Let the Blaise runs for time "t" to complete the race
so the total distance he moved is given by

Now Issac runs for time t = "t - 2*60"
because it took rest for 2 minutes

now it is given that Blaise wins by 10 m distance




now the distance moved by Blaise is given by

Answer:
The apparent weight of the person as she pass the highest point is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The radius of the Ferris wheel is 
The period of revolution is 
The weight of the person is 
Generally the speed of the wheel is mathematically represented as

substituting values


The apparent weight (the normal force exerted on her by the bench) at the highest point is mathematically evaluated as

Where m is the mass of the person which is mathematically evaluated as

substituting values


So


Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.
