Neglecting any loss in the gradual reduction in width : A rectangular channel n=0.012, 3.05m wide laid on a slope of 0.0049 carries 13.6 m^3/s. The channel is to be contracted to produce critical flow. What width of contracted section will accomplish this, neglecting any loss in the gradual reduction in w..

The force acting parallel to the wind direction : A 30-mph wind blows at an angle of 8 degrees to the plane of a signboard that is 12ft long by 2 ft wide. Using CL=0.52 and CD=0.09 Calculate the force acting on the signboard at right angles to the wind direction and the force acting parallel to the ..

What is the minimum amount of electrical energy : What is the minimum amount of electrical energy required by the refrigerator to carry out this process if it operates between reservoirs at temperatures of 20.0 °C and –20.0 °C?

How close does the proton get to the line of charge : An infinitely long line of charge has a linear charge density of 4.50×10?12C/m . A proton is at distance 12.0 cm from the line and is moving directly toward the line with speed 1400 m/s. How close does the proton get to the line of charge? (m)

Describe two ways that the resonant circuit in a radio : Describe two ways that the resonant circuit(s) in a radio are useful in helping to receive the broadcast from a single radio station. I know one of them is Electrical resonance of tuned circuits in radios allow individual stations to be selected.

What is the magnitude of the net force on the loop : A single-turn current loop, carrying a current of 4.82 A, is in the shape of a right triangle with sides 72.8, 121, and 141 cm. The loop is in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 57.9 mT whose direction is parallel to the current in the 141 cm side..

What is the intensity delivered to the eardrum : A person wears a hearing aid that uniformly increases the intensity level of all audible frequencies of sound by 33.2 dB. The hearing aid picks up sound having a frequency of 250 Hz at an intensity of 2.50 10-11 W/m2. What is the intensity delivered ..

What is the strength of the magnetic field : A wire that is 2.00 m long and carrying a current of 10.0 A is at right angles to a uniform magnetic field. The force acting on the wire is 0.45 N. What is the strength of the magnetic field?
