Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 16RQ
In a simple electric circuit, the current (I) must remain below 40 milliarr.ps (I < 40 mA) and must also satisfy the function I > 10–6 e25V, where V is the voltage across a device called a diode.
- a. Create a proper plot of these two inequalities with current on the ordinate. The values on the vertical axis should range from 0 to 50 milliamperes, and the values on the horizontal axis should range from 0 to 1 volt.
- b. If graphing part (a) by hand, shade the region of the graph where both inequalities are satisfied.
- c. Graphically determine the max mum allowable voltage across the diode. Indicate the location of this answer on your graph.

The amount of time it takes for a pendulum to swing “to-and-fro” through one complete cycle is called the “period” and is calculated using the following equation:
where
T = period in seconds, I = mass moment of inertia, m = mass of pendulum in kilograms
g = gravitational acceleration, 9.8 m/s2, h = effective length of pendulum in meters
What is the appropriate unit for I if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units? Please show all of your work.
Study the table to the right and then answer these questions by filling in the blank columns in the table.1. Convert the miles per gallon figures in the table tokilometers per liter (kpl).2. How many liters (and how many gallons) of gasolinewould each type of car use annually if it were driven19,300 kilometers (12,000 miles) per year?3. How many kilograms (and how many pounds) of carbon dioxide would be released into the atmosphereannually by each car, based on the fuel consumptioncalculated in question 2? Assume that the combustion of gasoline releases 2.3 kilograms of CO2 per liter(19 pounds per gallon).
The differential change in pressure p close to the surface of a static fluid is given by the following expression:dp/dy = -3Ap2,where A is a constant, with units of 1/(atm•m), and p is the pressure in atm. The pressure at the surface of the fluid is p(0) = 1 atm, and the coordinate y here is positive upwards with origin at the surface.
An absulute pressure gauge is placed at a depth 0.19m in the fluid. What would be the reading of the pressure gauge in units in atm? you can take the constant A=1(atm.m)^-1

The air temperature is measured with a thermometer that is not affected by the wind. However, the rate of heat loss from the skier increases with wind velocity, and the wind-chill temperature is the temperature that would result in the same rate of heat loss in still air as occurs at the measured air temperature with the existing wind. Suppose that the inner temperature of a 3-mm-thick layer of skin with a thermal conductivity of 0.35 W/m K is and the air temperature is . Under calm ambient conditions the heat transfer coefficient at the outer skin surface is about (see Table 1.4), but in a 40-mph wind it increases to .
