Textbook Question
Chapter 33, Problem 92P
In about A D 150, Claudius Ptolemy gave the following measured values for the angle of incidence θ1 and the angle of refraction θ2 for a light beam passing from air to water:
| θ1 | θ2 | θ1 | θ2 |
| 10° | 8° | 50° | 35° |
| 20° | 15°30′ | 60° | 40°30′ |
| 30° | 22°30′ | 70° | 45°30′ |
| 40° | 29° | 80° | 50° |
Assuming these data are consistent with the law of refraction, use them to find the index of refraction of water. These data are interesting as perhaps the oldest recorded physical measurements.

Calculate the anti-clockwise torque and the clockwise torque of the system with the ruler and the washers. Record these values in Data Table 5. Ruler = 11.56 g, small washer = 1.85 g, large washer = 24.30 g.
Calculate the % Difference in the Torques and record the values in Data Table 5.
Is ΣAnticlockwise torque and Anticlockwise torque the same thing, are they solved in the same way?
A window washer stands on a uniform plank of mass M = 142 kg and length l = 2.80 m supported by 2 ropes attached at the ends of the plank. The window washer has a mass m = 68.0 kg. What is the tension in each of the ropes, T1 and T2, if the window washer's displacement from the center of mass of the plank is x = 0.930 m as shown in Figure 1: Window Washer Problem?
