Chapter 7.3, Problem 75PE
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into space in 1990 and now orbits the Earth at 5 mi/sec at a distance of 353 mi above the Earth. From its location in space, the Hubble is free from the distortion of the Earth’s atmosphere, enabling it to return magnificent images from distant stars and galaxies. The quality of the Hubble’s images result from a large parabolic mirror, 2.4 m (7.9 ft) in diameter, that collects light from space.
Suppose that a
a. Assume that x and y are measured in meters. Write an equation of the parabolic cross section of the mirror for
b. How thick is the mirror at the edge? That is, what is the y value for

The figure shows a device that can be used to measure the speed of a bullet. The device consists of two rotating disks, separated by a distance of d = 0.808 m, and rotating with an angular speed of 99.2 rad/s. The bullet first passes through the left disk and then through the right disk. It is found that the angular displacement between the two bullet holes is = 0.237 rad. From these data, determine the speed of the bullet.
A cylindrical buoy weighing 100 lb (thus of mass m = 3.125 slugs in ft-lb-s (fps) units) floats in water with its axis vertical . When depressed slightlyand released, it oscillates up and down four times every 10s. Find the radius of the buoy.
A tracking radar lies in the vertical plane of the path of a rocket which is coasting in unpowered flight above the atmosphere (Figure Q7). For the instant when ? = 30°, the tracking data give r = 25(104) ft, ?̇ = 4000 ft /sec, and ?̇ = 0.80 deg/sec. The acceleration of the rocket is due only to gravitational attraction and for its particular altitude is 31.4 ft/???2 vertically down. For these conditions determine the velocity v of the rocket.
