Students have asked these similar questions
why did the expert subtract the force exerted by the hand and the elbow by the force due to the weight of the hand and forearm and force exerted by the tricep. Does the order matter and how do you determine what to put first. Question 4 AP, CHAPTER 13 FROM BASIC BIOMECHANICS 8TH EDITION
The drawing illustrates the dispersion of light by a prism. The prism is made from a certain
type of glass, and has a cross section shaped like an equilateral triangle. The indices of
refraction for the red and violet light in this type of glass are 1.649 and 1.694, respectively.
The angle of incidence for both the red and violet light is 60.0°. Find the angles of
refraction at which the (a) red and (b) violet rays emerge into the air from the prism.
