Q O Figure 5.18 Figure 5.19 8. The ring in Figure 5.19 has two halves. The one half is made from cast iron, while the other is made from cast steel. The two halves are held 1 mm apart with the aid of a paper disc. The cross-sectional area and mean circumference of the ring is 345 mm² and 0,6 m respectively. The relative permeability of cast iron is 2400, while that of cast steel is 600. The ring has a coil with 200 windings. The current flow through the coil causes a flux density of 0,48 T. Calculate the m.m.f. and the current flow. Ignore the effects of fringing and leakage. Hint - The paper is part of the circumference. (1001,9 A, 5,01 A)

You are going to use a balloon and rise in the corresponding altitudes. If the balloon weighs 1000kg (all included, weight of yourself, equipment, inflated part etc) calculate the volume of inflated part of the balloon, so that the initial acceleration is 15m/s?. Assume that the balloon is a sphere and neglect the deflated part of the balloon as far as volume is concerned. Can you verify all measurements with this volume of the balloon? What kind of adjustments do you need to make in order to complete your mission?

The climbers resolved three temperatures between the highest Brazilian peaks, the first took an altimeter that recorded the barometric pressure and recorded the following data at the base (pressure 101 kPa and temperature 16 degrees Celsius), at the highest altitude reached (pressure of 77 kPa and temperature of zero degrees Celsius). The second climber took an altimeter that measured the altitude considering the temperature, in this case the data he presented constant to the referee were at the base (pressure 101 kPa and temperature 12 degrees Celsius) and at the highest altitude raised (pressure 70 kPa). The last climber took an altimeter that considered the density of the constant to be 1.22 kg/m, measured at the base (pressure of 101 kPa and temperature of 10 degrees Celsius) and given at the highest altitude reached (pressure of 72 kPa). . Considering the determination of each, determine the altitude reached by each climber)
