- Use a calculator to help solve each problem. Oceanography At one location in the Atlantic Ocean, I0=14 lumens and k=0.7. Find the intensity of light at a depth of 12 meters. See Exercise 11.arrow_forwardTsunami Waves and BreakwatersThis is a continuation of Exercise 16. Breakwaters affect wave height by reducing energy. See Figure 5.30. If a tsunami wave of height H in a channel of width W encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to a width w, then the height h of the wave beyond the breakwater is given by h=HR0.5, where R is the width ratio R=w/W. a. Suppose a wave of height 8 feet in a channel of width 5000feet encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to 3000feet. What is the height of the wave beyond the breakwater? b. If a channel width is cut in half by a breakwater, what is the effect on wave height? 16. Height of Tsunami WavesWhen waves generated by tsunamis approach shore, the height of the waves generally increases. Understanding the factors that contribute to this increase can aid in controlling potential damage to areas at risk. Greens law tells how water depth affects the height of a tsunami wave. If a tsunami wave has height H at an ocean depth D, and the wave travels to a location with water depth d, then the new height h of the wave is given by h=HR0.25, where R is the water depth ratio given by R=D/d. a. Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water 25feet deep if its height is 3feet at its point of origin in water 15,000feet deep. b. If water depth decreases by half, the depth ratio R is doubled. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected?arrow_forwardA 10.00-inch diameter pulley rotates at 160.0 rpm. A belt connects this 10.00-inch diameter pulley with a 6.5-inch diameter pulley. An 8.00-inch diameter pulley is fixed to the same shaft as the 6.50-inch pulley. A belt connects the 8.00-inch pulley with a 3.50-inch diameter pulley. Determine the revolutions per minute of the 3.50-inch diameter pulley. Round the answer to 1 decimal place.arrow_forward
- If you travel 300 miles on the first day and then drive v miles per hour for t hours on the second day, then the total distance traveled over the teo-day period is given by d=300+vt miles. Use a formula to express v as a function of d and t for this two-day event.arrow_forwardIn Figure 208, gear A is turning at 120 revolutions per minute and gear B is turning at 3.6 revolutions per second. Determine the ratio of the speed of gear A to the speed of gear B.arrow_forwardGear Trains Figure 8 shows a single-stage gear train. Gear trains are used in many products, such as clocks and automotive transmissions, to reduce or increase the angular velocity of a component. The size of each gear is measured by the number of teeth rather than the radius. Suppose the first gear has n1 and the second gear has n2 teeth. Because the spacing of the teeth is the same for both gears, the ratio of their radii will be equivalent to the corresponding ratio of the number of teeth. When two gears are meshed together, they share the same linear velocity. If 1 and 2 are the angular velocities of the first and second gears, respectively, then v2=v1r22=r112=r1r212=n1n21 The first gear in a single-stage gear train has 42 teeth and an angular velocity of 2 revolutions per second. The second gear has 7 teeth. Find the angular velocity of the second gear.arrow_forward
