Late one night on a highway, a car speeds by you and fades into the distance. Under these conditions the pupils of your eyes have diameters of about 7.3 mm. The taillights of this car are separated by a distance of 1.1 m and emit red light (wavelength = 660 nm in vacuum). How far away from you is this car when its taillights appear to merge into a single spot of light because of the effects of diffraction?

Asteam power plant operates on an ideal reheat rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 15 mpa and 10 kpa. the mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 12 kg/s. steam enters both stages of the turbine at 500°c. if the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed 10 percent, determine (a) the pressure at which reheating takes place, (b) the total rate of heat input in the boiler, and (c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. also, show the cycle on a t-s diagram with respect to the saturation lines. (2.15 mpa; 45.0 mw; 42.6%)

Awind turbine is rotating counterclockwise at 0.5 rev/s and slows to a stop in 10 s. its blades are 20 m in length. (a) what is the angular acceleration of the turbine? (b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the tip of the blades at t=0s? (c) what is the magnitude and direction of the total linear acceleration of the tip of the blades at t=0s?

What equation is used to calculate the weight of an object on a plant ?
