Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 12CQ
An astronomer is using a telescope to observe two distant stars. The stars are marginally resolved when she looks at them through a filter that passes green light near 550 nm. Which of the following actions would improve the resolution? Assume that the resolution is not limited by the atmosphere.
a. Changing the filter to a different wavelength? If so, should she use a shorter or a longer wavelength?
b. Using a telescope with an objective lens of the same diameter but a different focal length? If so, should she select a shorter or a longer focal length?
c. Using a telescope with an objective lens of the same focal length but a different diameter? If so, should she select a larger or a smaller diameter?
d. Using an eyepiece with a different magnification? If so, should she select an eyepiece with more or less magnification?

The force of the quadriceps (Fq) and force of the patellar tendon (Fp) is identical (i.e., 1000 N each). In the figure below angle in blue is Θ and the in green is half Θ (i.e., Θ/2). A) Calculate the patellar reaction force (i.e., R resultant vector is the sum of the horizontal component of the quadriceps and patellar tendon force) at the following joint angles: you need to provide a diagram showing the vector and its components for each part. a1) Θ = 160 degrees, a2) Θ = 90 degrees. NOTE: USE ONLY TRIGNOMETRIC FUNCTIONS (SIN/TAN/COS, NO LAW OF COSINES, NO COMPLICATED ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS OR ANYTHING ELSE, ETC. Question A has 2 parts!
