Chapter 16, Problem 58EAP
- Determine the average orbital separation of this system using Newton’s version of Kepler’s third law.
- Determine the average speed of each star with respect to the center of mass of the system.
- The center of mass of this system lies at the midpoint between the two stars because their masses are equal. The distance of each star from the center of mass is therefore equal to half the orbital separation. What is the angular momentum of each star with respect to the center of mass?
- Suppose the Sun had the same angular momentum as these two stars combined. Estimate the speed at which the Sun’s surface would be moving around the Sun’s rotation axis.
- How does the speed from part d compare with the escape velocity from the Sun’s surface? What would happen if the Sun were spinning this fast?

You want to fabricate a soft microfluidic chip like the one below. How would you go about
fabricating this chip knowing that you are targeting a channel with a square cross-sectional
profile of 200 μm by 200 μm. What materials and steps would you use and why? Disregard the
process to form the inlet and outlet.

1. What are the key steps involved in the fabrication of a semiconductor device.
2. You are hired by a chip manufacturing company, and you are asked to prepare a silicon wafer
with the pattern below. Describe the process you would use.
High Aspect
Ratio
Trenches
Undoped Si Wafer
P-doped Si
3. You would like to deposit material within a high aspect ratio trench. What approach would you
use and why?
4. A person is setting up a small clean room space to carry out an outreach activity to educate high
school students about patterning using photolithography. They obtained a positive photoresist, a
used spin coater, a high energy light lamp for exposure and ordered a plastic transparency mask
with a pattern on it to reduce cost. Upon trying this set up multiple times they find that the full
resist gets developed, and they are unable to transfer the pattern onto the resist. Help them
troubleshoot and find out why pattern of transfer has not been successful.
5. You are given a composite…
