On May 1953, Tenzig Norgay and Edmund Hillary became the first humans to climb to the summit of Mount Everest (8850 m). Assume they each had a mass of 75 kg while climbing, plus each carried 20 kg of equipment and clothes. Climbing started from base camp (at 5335 m above sea level) and had to be gradual so their bodies could adjust to low air pressure. There were four stops before the summit was reached: camp 1 (6000 m), camp 2 (6400 m), camp 3 (7450 m), and camp 4 (7950 m). a) Compute the total energy each of the climbers had to spend for going from base camp to the summit. Provide your result in units of kilocalorie (1 kCal

The dipole moment of the water molecule (h2o) is 6.17x10^-30 c.m. consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p points in the +x-direction. a chlorine ion ( of charge-1.60x10^-19c , is located at x=3.00x10^-9m . assume that is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis can be used. a) find the magnitude of the electric force that the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. b) what is the direction of the electric force. -x-direction or +x-direction c) is this force attractive or repulsive?
