n Section 12.3 it was mentioned that temperatures are often measured with electrical resistance thermometers made of platinum wi

re. Suppose that the resistance of a platinum resistance thermometer is 125 Ω when its temperature is 20.0°C. The wire is then immersed in boiling chlorine, and the resistance drops to 99.6 Ω. The temperature coefficient of resistivity of platinum is α = 3.72 × 10−3(C°)−1. What is the temperature of the boiling chlorine?

Answer:

- 48.55 degree

Explanation:

Resistance increases when temperature increases. This increase is linear and which is defined by the following relation between resistance and temperature

R_t=R_0(1-\alpha\times t)

R_t is resistance at temperature t , R₀ is resistance at temperature t₀  , t is rise in temperature and α is temperature coefficient of resistance .

Putting the values we get

125 = 99.6 ( 1 + 3.72x 10⁻³ x t )

t = 68.55

Therefore temperature of boiling chlorine is 20-68.55 = - 48.55 degree celsius .

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

A) V=62 i + 0 j + 0 k

B) X=0.93 km

Explanation:

A) In this situation we are talking about a car moving only in the X- axis, hence the velocity of the car is:

V=62 i + 0 j + 0 k

Where the unit vectors i, j and k represent the components x, y and z in the cartesian plane.

In this sense, each unit vector is defined to have a magnitude of exactly one (1).

B) Velocity is defined as the variation of position in time, if this car is moving only along the x direction we will have:

V=\frac{X}{t}

Clearing the position:

X=V.t

X=(62 km/h)(0.015 h)

X=0.93 km

A submarine periscope uses two totally reflecting 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection on the sides adjacent to the 45
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer

Given,

Periscope uses 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection adjacent to 45°.

refractive index of water, n_a = 1.33

refractive index of glass, n_g = 1.52

When the light enters the water, water will act as a lens and when we see the object from the periscope the object shown is farther than the usual distance.

A nonuniform, 80.0-g, meterstick balances when the support is placed at the 51.0-cm mark. At what location on the meterstick sho
Gnoma [55]

Answer:34 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of meter stick m=80 gm

stick is balanced when support is placed at 51 cm mark

Let us take 5 gm tack is placed at x cm on meter stick so that balancing occurs at x=50 cm mark

balancing torque

80\times 10^{-3}(51-50)=5\times 10^{-3}(50-x)

80=5(50-x)

80=250-5x

5x=170

x=\frac{170}{5}

x=34 cm

After an eye examination, you put some eyedrops on your sensitive eyes. The cornea (the front part of the eye) has an index of r
mina [271]

Answer:

t = 103.45 n m

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of cornea = 1.38

refractive index of eye drop = 1.45

wavelength of refractive index = 600 nm

refractive index of eye drop is greater than refractive index of cornea and the air.

Formula used in this case

for constructive interference

2 n t = (m + \dfrac{1}{2})\lambda

At m = 0 for the minimum thickness, so

2\times 1.45 \times t = (0 + 0.5)\times 600

2.9 \times t =300

t =\dfrac{300}{2.9}

t = 103.45 n m

the minimum thickness of the film of eyedrops t = 103.45 n m

A 900 kg steel beam is supported by the two ropes shown in (Figure 1) . Calculate the tension in the rope.
Rzqust [24]
Let T1 and T2 be tension in ropes1 and 2 respectively. 
<span>since system is stationary (equilibrium), considering both ropes + beam as a system </span>

<span>for horizontal equilibrium (no movement in that direction, so resultant force must be zero horizontally) </span>
<span>T1sin(20) = T2sin(30) </span>
<span>=> T1 = T2sin(30) / sin(20) </span>

<span>for vertical equilibrium, (no movement in this direction, so resultant force must be zero vertically) </span>
<span>T1cos(20) + T2cos(30) = mg </span>

<span>m = 900kg, substituting for T1 </span>
<span>T2sin(30)*cos(20)/sin(20) + T2cos(30) = 900g </span>
