Answer to Problem 1Q

The experimental data which is not predicted by Thompson is light spectrum of hydrogen and he could not make the planetary model of Rutherford- Bohr work because according to his plum-pudding model there is no Coulomb force of attraction between any charges.

Explanation of Solution

In J.J Thompson’s Plum pudding model for the structure of atom, he proposed that electrons (negatively charge particles) are embedded in a uniform positively charged mass, similarly as raisins in a plum pudding and he also said that electric force on electrons is also zero and they do not move rapidly.

Electromagnetic radiations are caused when the electrons oscillate or vibrate when atom is heated. The frequency of emission lies in visible region. But in reality spectrum of hydrogen atom contains, infrared region, visible region and ultraviolet region. Thompson model could not predict spectrum of hydrogen.

Thompson could not make the planetary model of Rutherford- Bohr work because according to his plum-pudding model there is no Coulomb force of attraction between any charges.

Conclusion:

Thus, the experimental data which is not predicted by Thompson is light spectrum of hydrogen and he could not make the planetary model of Rutherford- Bohr work because according to his plum-pudding model there is no Coulomb force of attraction between any charges.

Please help me on the following question (Please refer to image below)An Olympic lifter (m = 103kg) is holding a lift with a mass of 350 kg. The barexerts a purely vertical force that is equally distributed between both hands. Each arm has amass of 9 kg, are 0.8m long and form a 40° angle with the horizontal. The CoM for each armis 0.5 m from hand. Assuming the lifter is facing us in the diagram below, his right deltoidinserts 14cm from the shoulder at an angle of 13° counter-clockwise from the humerus.A) You are interested in calculating the force in the right deltoid. Draw a free body diagramof the right arm including the external forces, joint reaction forces, a coordinate system andstate your assumptions.B) Find the force exerted by the right deltoidC) Find the shoulder joint contact force.
