This procedure has been used to "weigh" astronauts in space:
a 42.5 kg chair is attached to a spring and allowed to oscillate. when it is empty, the chair takes 1.30 s to make one complete vibration. but with an astronaut sitting in it, with her feet off the floor, the chair now takes 2.54 s for one cycle.
what is the mass of the astronaut?

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.
