Assume you have a radioactive spill of 9tc and you are measuring it using a large volume gm tube detector in the shape of a flat disc. you measure 1 counts per minute at a distance of 1 cm from the contaminated surfac a. what detection geometry will you assume for your calculation? b. what is your estimate of the counting efficiency of this geometry? c. what is the activity of the spill? d. if it was decided to leave it there without cleaning it off the surface, how long would it be before the activity was indistinguishable from background radiation of 25 counts per second (assuming it would be within 2 standard deviations of background)? how dangerous is this spill?

Suppose that two tanks, 1 and 2, each with a large opening at the top, contain different liquids. a small hole is made in the side of each tank at the same depth 1.57 m below the liquid surface, but the hole in tank 2 has 2.49 times the cross-sectional area of the hole in tank 1. (a) what is the ratio ρ1/ρ2 of the densities of the liquids if the mass flow rate is the same for the two holes? (b) what is the ratio rv1/rv2 of the volume flow rates from the two tanks? (c) at one instant, the liquid in tank 1 is 14.9 cm above the hole. if the tanks are to have equal volume flow rates, what height above the hole must the liquid in tank 2 be just then?

Abird flies directly overhead from where you stand at an altitude of 300.0 m and at a speed horizontal to the ground of 20.0 m/s. the bird has a mass of 2.0 kg. the radius vector to the bird makes an angle \thetaθ with respect to the ground. the radius vector to the bird and its momentum vector lie in the xyxy-plane. what is the bird’s angular momentum about the point where you are standing?
