ANSWERS TO OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS OQ1.1 The meterstick measurement, (a), and (b) can all be 4.31 cm. The meterstick measurement and (c) can both be 4.24 cm. Only (d) does not overlap. Thus (a), (b), and (c) all agree with the meterstick measurement. OQ1.2 Answer (d). Using the relation ⎛ 2.54 cm ⎞ ⎛ 1 m ⎞ 1 ft = 12 in ⎜ = 0.304 8 m ⎝ 1 in ⎟⎠ ⎜⎝ 100 cm ⎟⎠ we find that 2 ⎛ 0.304 8 m ⎞ 1 420 ft 2 ⎜ ⎟⎠ = 132 m 2 ⎝ 1 ft OQ1.3 The answer is yes for (a), (c), and (e). You cannot add or subtract a number of apples and a number of jokes. The answer is no for (b) and (d). Consider the gauge of a sausage, 4 kg/2 m, or the volume of a cube, (2 m)3. Thus we have (a) yes; (b) no; (c) yes; (d) no; and (e) yes. 1 © 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

OQ1.6 The number of decimal places in a sum of numbers should be the same as the smallest number of decimal places in the numbers summed. 21.4 s 15 s 17.17 s 4.003 s 57.573 s = 58 s, answer (d). OQ1.7 The population is about 6 billion = 6 × 109. Assuming about 100 lb per person = about 50 kg per person (1 kg has the weight of about 2.2 lb), the total mass is about (6 × 109)(50 kg) = 3 × 1011 kg, answer (d). OQ1.8 No: A dimensionally correct equation need not be true. Example: 1 chimpanzee = 2 chimpanzee is dimensionally correct. Yes: If an equation is not dimensionally correct, it cannot be correct. 2 OQ1.9 Mass is measured in kg; acceleration is measured in m/s. Force = mass × acceleration, so the units of force are answer (a) kg⋅m/s2. 0.02(1.365) = 0.03. The result is (1.37 ± 0.03) × 10 kg. So (d) 3 digits are 7 OQ1.10 significant. ANSWERS TO CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS CQ1.1 Density varies with temperature and pressure. It would be necessary to measure both mass and volume very accurately in order to use the density of water as a standard. CQ1.2 The metric system is considered superior because units larger and smaller than the basic units are simply related by multiples of 10. Examples: 1 km = 103 m, 1 mg = 10–3 g = 10–6 kg, 1 ns = 10–9 s. CQ1.3 A unit of time should be based on a reproducible standard so it can be used everywhere. The more accuracy required of the standard, the less the standard should change with time. The current, very accurate standard is the period of vibration of light emitted by a cesium atom. Depending on the accuracy required, other standards could be: the period of light emitted by a different atom, the period of the swing of a pendulum at a certain place on Earth, the period of vibration of a sound wave produced by a string of a specific length, density, and tension, and the time interval from full Moon to full Moon.

Chapter 1 3 SOLUTIONS TO END-OF-CHAPTER PROBLEMS Section 1.1 Standards of Length, Mass, and Time P1.1 (a) Modeling the Earth as a sphere, we find its volume as π r = π ( 6.37 × 106 m ) = 1.08 × 1021 m 3 4 3 4 3 3 3 Its density is then m 5.98 × 1024 kg ρ= = = 5.52 × 103 kg/m 3 V 1.08 × 10 m 21 3 (b) This value is intermediate between the tabulated densities of aluminum and iron. Typical rocks have densities around 2000 to 3000 kg/m3. The average density of the Earth is significantly higher, so higher-density material must be down below the surface. m P1.2 With V = (base area)(height), V = (π r 2 ) h and ρ = , we have V m 1 kg ⎛ 109 mm 3 ⎞ ρ= = π r 2 h π ( 19.5 mm )2 ( 39.0 mm ) ⎜⎝ 1 m 3 ⎟⎠ ρ = 2.15 × 10 4 kg/m 3 m P1.3 Let V represent the volume of the model, the same in ρ = , for both. V mgold Then ρiron = 9.35 kg/V and ρgold =. V ρgold mgold Next, = ρiron 9.35 kg ⎛ 19.3 × 103 kg/m 3 ⎞ and mgold = ( 9.35 kg ) ⎜ = 22.9 kg ⎝ 7.87 × 10 kg/m ⎟⎠ 3 3 ρ = m/V and V = ( 4/3 ) π r 3 = ( 4/3 ) π ( d/2 ) = π d 3 /6, where d is the 3 P1.4 (a) diameter. 6 ( 1.67 × 10−27 kg ) Then ρ = 6m/ π d = 3 = 2.3 × 1017 kg/m 3 π ( 2.4 × 10 m) −15 3 2.3 × 1017 kg/m 3 (b) = 1.0 × 1013 times the density of osmium 22.6 × 10 kg/m 3 3 © 2014 Cengage Learning.

We divide this equation for the larger sphere by the 3 same equation for the smaller: m ρ ( 4/ 3 ) π r3 r3 = = =5 ms ρ ( 4/ 3 ) π rs3 rs3 Then r = rs 3 5 = ( 4.50 cm ) 3 5 = 7.69 cm *P1.6 The volume of a spherical shell can be calculated from 4 V = Vo − Vi = π ( r23 − r13 ) 3 m From the definition of density, ρ = , so V m = ρV = ρ ( ) 4 3 π ( r23 − r13 ) = 4π ρ ( r23 − r13 ) 3 Section 1.2 Matter and Model Building P1.7 From the figure, we may see that the spacing between diagonal planes is half the distance between diagonally adjacent atoms on a flat plane. This diagonal distance may be obtained from the Pythagorean theorem, Ldiag = L2 + L2. Thus, since the atoms are separated by a distance L = 0.200 nm, the diagonal planes are separated by 1 2 L + L2 = 0.141 nm. 2 P1.8 (a) Treat this as a conversion of units using 1 Cu-atom = 1.06 × 10–25 kg, and 1 cm = 10–2 m: 3 ⎛ kg ⎞ ⎛ 10−2 m ⎞ ⎛ Cu-atom ⎞ density = ⎜ 8 920 3 ⎟ ⎜ ⎝ m ⎠ ⎝ 1 cm ⎟⎠ ⎜⎝ 1.06 × 10−25 kg ⎟⎠ Cu-atom = 8.42 × 1022 cm 3 © 2014 Cengage Learning.

Chapter 1 5 (b) Thinking in terms of units, invert answer (a): ⎛ 3 ⎞ (density )−1 = ⎜⎝ 8.42 × 10122cmCu-atoms ⎟⎠ = 1.19 × 10−23 cm 3 /Cu-atom (c) For a cube of side L, L3 = 1.19 × 10−23 cm 3 → L = 2.28 × 10−8 cm Section 1.3 Dimensional Analysis P1.9 (a) Write out dimensions for each quantity in the equation vf = vi + ax The variables vf and vi are expressed in units of m/s, so –1 [vf] = [vi] = LT The variable a is expressed in units of m/s2; –2 [a] = LT The variable x is expressed in meters. Therefore, [ax] = L2 T –2 Consider the right-hand member (RHM) of equation (a): [RHM] = LT +L2 T –1 –2 Quantities to be added must have the same dimensions. Therefore, equation (a) is not dimensionally correct. (b) Write out dimensions for each quantity in the equation y = (2 m) cos (kx) For y, [y] = L for 2 m, [2 m] = L and for (kx), ( ) [ kx] = ⎡⎣ 2 m –1 x ⎤⎦ = L–1L Therefore we can think of the quantity kx as an angle in radians, and we can take its cosine. The cosine itself will be a pure number with no dimensions. For the left-hand member (LHM) and the right-hand member (RHM) of the equation we have [LHM] = [y] = L [RHM] = [2 m][cos (kx)] = L These are the same, so equation (b) is dimensionally correct. © 2014 Cengage Learning.

Expression (a) has dimensions L(L ) = L , expression (b) has dimensions L, and expression (c) has dimensions 2 3 L(L ) = L. The matches are: (a) and (f), (b) and (d), and (c) and (e). P1.11 (a) Consider dimensions in terms of their mks units. For kinetic energy K: ⎡⎛ p 2 ⎞ ⎤ [ p ] 2 kg ⋅ m2 [ K ] = ⎢⎜ ⎟ ⎥ = = ⎣⎝ 2m ⎠ ⎦ kg s2 Solving for [p2] and [p] then gives kg 2 ⋅ m2 kg ⋅ m [ p] [ p] = 2 = → s2 s The units of momentum are kg ⋅ m/s. (b) Momentum is to be expressed as the product of force (in N) and some other quantity X. Considering dimensions in terms of their mks units, [N ] ⋅ [X ] = [ p ] kg ⋅ m kg ⋅ m 2 ⋅ [X ] = s s [X ] = s Therefore, the units of momentum are N ⋅ s. ⎡ kg ⋅ m ⎤ [ M ][ L ] P1.12 We substitute [ kg ] = [M], [ m ] = [L], and [ F ] = ⎢ 2 ⎥ = into ⎣ s ⎦ [T ]2 Newton’s law of universal gravitation to obtain [ M ][L ] = [G ][ M ]2 [T ]2 [L ]2 Solving for [G] then gives [L ]3 m3 [G ] = = [ M ][T ]2 kg ⋅ s 2 *P1.13 The term x has dimensions of L, a has dimensions of LT −2 , and t has dimensions of T. Therefore, the equation x = ka mt n has dimensions of L = ( LT −2 ) ( T )n or L1T 0 = LmT n−2m m The powers of L and T must be the same on each side of the equation. © 2014 Cengage Learning.

Chapter 1 7 Therefore, L1 = Lm and m = 1 Likewise, equating terms in T, we see that n – 2m must equal 0. Thus, n = 2. The value of k, a dimensionless constant, cannot be obtained by dimensional analysis. P1.14 Summed terms must have the same dimensions. (a) [X] = [At3] + [Bt] L = [ A ] T 3 + [ B] T → [ A ] = L/T 3 , and [ B ] = L/T. (b) [ dx/dt ] = ⎡⎣ 3At 2 ⎤⎦ + [B] = L/T. Section 1.4 Conversion of Units 4 3 P1.15 From Table 14.1, the density of lead is 1.13 × 10 kg/m , so we should expect our calculated value to be close to this value. The density of water is 1.00 × 103 kg/m3, so we see that lead is about 11 times denser than water, which agrees with our experience that lead sinks. Density is defined as ρ = m/V. We must convert to SI units in the calculation. ⎛ 23.94 g ⎞ ⎛ 1 kg ⎞ 100 cm ( ) 3 ρ=⎜ ⎝ 2.10 cm 3 ⎟⎠ ⎜⎝ 1 000 g ⎟⎠ 1 m ⎛ 23.94 g ⎞ ⎛ 1 kg ⎞ 1 000 000 cm 3 = ⎜ ⎝ 2.10 cm 3 ⎟⎠ ⎜⎝ 1 000 g ⎟⎠ 1 m3 ( ) = 1.14 × 10 4 kg/m 3 Observe how we set up the unit conversion fractions to divide out the units of grams and cubic centimeters, and to make the answer come out in kilograms per cubic meter. At one step in the calculation, we note that one million cubic centimeters make one cubic meter. Our result is indeed close to the expected value. Since the last reported significant digit is not certain, the difference from the tabulated values is possibly due to measurement uncertainty and does not indicate a discrepancy. © 2014 Cengage Learning.

We use the conversion 1 m = 3.281 ft. The area of the lot is then ⎛ 1m ⎞ ⎛ 1m ⎞ A = LW = ( 75.0 ft ) ⎜ ⎟ ( 125 ft ) ⎜ = 871 m 2 ⎝ 3.281 ft ⎠ ⎝ 3.281 ft ⎟⎠ P1.18 Apply the following conversion factors: 1 in = 2.54 cm, 1 d = 86 400 s, 100 cm = 1m, and 109 nm = 1 m. Then, the rate of hair growth per second is ⎞ ( 2.54 cm/in ) ( 10 m/cm ) ( 10 nm/m ) −2 9 ⎛ 1 rate = ⎜ in/day ⎟ ⎝ 32 ⎠ 86 400 s/day = 9.19 nm/s This means the proteins are assembled at a rate of many layers of atoms each second! 2 P1.19 The area of the four walls is (3.6 + 3.8 + 3.6 + 3.8) m × (2.5 m) = 37 m. Each sheet in the book has area (0.21 m)(0.28 m) = 0.059 m2. The 2 2 number of sheets required for wallpaper is 37 m /0.059 m = 629 sheets = 629 sheets(2 pages/1 sheet) = 1260 pages. The number of pages in Volume 1 are insufficient. P1.20 We use the formula for the volume of a pyramid given in the problem and the conversion 43 560 ft2 = 1 acre. Then, V = Bh = ⎡⎣( 13.0 acres )( 43 560 ft 2 /acre ) ⎤⎦ 1 3 × ( 481 ft ) = 9.08 × 107 ft 3 ANS FIG.

May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Chapter 1 9 P1.21 To find the weight of the pyramid, we use the conversion 1 ton = 2 000 lbs: Fg = ( 2.50 tons/block ) ( 2.00 × 106 blocks ) ( 2 000 lb/ton ) = 1.00 × 1010 lbs ⎛ 30.0 gal ⎞ ⎛ 1 mi ⎞ gal P1.22 (a) rate = ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ = 7.14 × 10−2 ⎝ 7.00 min ⎠ ⎝ 60 s ⎠ s gal ⎛ 231 in 3 ⎞ ⎛ 2.54 cm ⎞ ⎛ 1 m ⎞ 3 3 (b) rate = 7.14 × 10−2 ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ s ⎜⎝ 1 gal ⎟⎠ ⎝ 1 in ⎠ ⎝ 100 cm ⎠ m3 = 2.70 × 10−4 s (c) To find the time to fill a 1.00-m3 tank, find the rate time/volume: m 3 ⎛ 2.70 × 10−4 m 3 ⎞ 2.70 × 10−4 =⎜ ⎟⎠ s ⎝ 1s −1 ⎛ 2.70 × 10−4 m 3 ⎞ ⎛ 1s ⎞ s or ⎜⎝ ⎟⎠ =⎜ 3⎟ = 3.70 × 103 3 1s ⎝ 2.70 × 10 m ⎠ −4 m ⎛ 1h ⎞ 3.70 × 103 s ⎜ = 1.03 h ⎝ 3 600 s ⎟⎠ and so: *P1.23 It is often useful to remember that the 1 600-m race at track and field events is approximately 1 mile in length. To be precise, there are 1 609 meters in a mile. Thus, 1 acre is equal in area to ⎛ 1 mi 2 ⎞ ⎛ 1 609 m ⎞ 2 ( 1 acre ) ⎜ ⎟ = 4.05 × 103 m 2 ⎝ 640 acres ⎠ ⎝ mi ⎠ *P1.24 The volume of the interior of the house is the product of its length, width, and height. We use the conversion 1 ft = 0.304 8 m and 100 cm = 1 m. V = LWH ⎛ 0.304 8 m ⎞ ⎛ 0.304 8 m ⎞ = ( 50.0 ft ) ⎜ ⎟ × ( 26 ft ) ⎜ ⎟⎠ ⎝ 1 ft ⎠ ⎝ 1 ft ⎛ 0.304 8 m ⎞ × ( 8.0 ft ) ⎜ ⎟⎠ ⎝ 1 ft = 294.5 m 3 = 290 m 3 3 ⎛ 100 cm ⎞ = ( 294.5 m ) ⎜ 3 = 2.9 × 108 cm 3 ⎝ 1 m ⎟⎠ © 2014 Cengage Learning.

P1.25 The aluminum sphere must be larger in volume to compensate for its lower density. We require equal masses: mA1 = mFe or ρ A1VA1 = ρFeVFe then use the volume of a sphere. By substitution, ⎛4 ⎞ ⎛4 ⎞ ρA1 ⎜ π rA13 ⎟ = ρFe ⎜ π (2.00 cm)3 ⎟ ⎝3 ⎠ ⎝3 ⎠ Now solving for the unknown, ⎛ρ ⎞ ⎛ 7.86 × 103 kg/m 3 ⎞ = ⎜ Fe ⎟ ( 2.00 cm ) = ⎜ ( 2.00 cm )3 3 rA1 3 3⎟ ⎝ ρA1 ⎠ ⎝ 2.70 × 10 kg/m ⎠ 3 = 23.3 cm 3 Taking the cube root, rAl = 2.86 cm. The aluminum sphere is 43% larger than the iron one in radius, diameter, and circumference. Volume is proportional to the cube of the linear dimension, so this excess in linear size gives it the (1.43)(1.43)(1.43) = 2.92 times larger volume it needs for equal mass. 4πρAl rAl3 P1.26 The mass of each sphere is mAl = ρAlVAl = 3 4πρFe rFe3 and mFe = ρFeVFe =. Setting these masses equal, 3 4 4 ρ πρAl rAl3 = πρFe rFe3 → rAl = rFe 3 Fe 3 3 ρAl 7.86 rAl = rFe 3 = rFe (1.43) 2.70 The resulting expression shows that the radius of the aluminum sphere is directly proportional to the radius of the balancing iron sphere. The aluminum sphere is 43% larger than the iron one in radius, diameter, and circumference. Volume is proportional to the cube of the linear dimension, so this excess in linear size gives it the (1.43)3 = 2.92 times larger volume it needs for equal mass. © 2014 Cengage Learning.

Chapter 1 11 P1.27 We assume the paint keeps the same volume in the can and on the wall, and model the film on the wall as a rectangular solid, with its volume given by its “footprint” area, which is the area of the wall, multiplied by its thickness t perpendicular to this area and assumed to be uniform. Then, V = At gives t = V = 3.78 × 10 2 m = 1.51 × 10 –4 m –3 3 A 25.0 m The thickness of 1.5 tenths of a millimeter is comparable to the thickness of a sheet of paper, so this answer is reasonable. The film is many molecules thick. P1.28 (a) To obtain the volume, we multiply the length, width, and height of the room, and use the conversion 1 m = 3.281 ft. V = (40.0 m)( 20.0 m )( 12.0 m ) 3 ⎛ 3.281 ft ⎞ = ( 9.60 × 103 m 3 ) ⎜ ⎝ 1 m ⎟⎠ = 3.39 × 105 ft 3 (b) The mass of the air is m = ρairV = ( 1.20 kg/m 3 ) ( 9.60 × 103 m 3 ) = 1.15 × 10 4 kg The student must look up the definition of weight in the index to find Fg = mg = ( 1.15 × 10 4 kg ) ( 9.80 m/s 2 ) = 1.13 × 105 N where the unit of N of force (weight) is newtons. Converting newtons to pounds, ⎛ 1 lb ⎞ Fg = (1.13 × 105 N) ⎜ = 2.54 × 10 4 lb ⎝ 4.448 N ⎟⎠ P1.29 (a) The time interval required to repay the debt will be calculated by dividing the total debt by the rate at which it is repaid.

Similar calculations show that the bills could span the distance between the Earth and the Sun sixteen times. The strip could encircle the Earth’s equator nearly 62 000 times. With successive turns wound edge to edge without overlapping, the dollars would cover a zone centered on the equator and about 4.2 km wide.

Therefore, to find the number of balls we can simply divide the volume of an average-size living room (perhaps 15 ft × 20 ft × 8 ft) by the volume of an individual Ping-Pong ball. Using the approximate conversion 1 ft = 30 cm, we find VRoom = (15 ft)(20 ft)(8 ft)(30 cm/ft)3 ≈ 6 × 107 cm3 A Ping-Pong ball has a diameter of about 3 cm, so we can estimate its volume as a cube: Vball = (3 cm)(3 cm)(3 cm) ≈ 30 cm3 © 2014 Cengage Learning.

Chapter 1 13 The number of Ping-Pong balls that can fill the room is VRoom N ≈ ≈ 2 × 106 balls ∼ 106 balls Vball So a typical room can hold on the order of a million Ping-Pong balls. As an aside, the actual number is smaller than this because there will be a lot of space in the room that cannot be covered by balls. In fact, even in the best arrangement, the so-called “best packing fraction” is 1 π 2 = 0.74, so that at least 26% of the space will be empty. 6 P1.32 (a) We estimate the mass of the water in the bathtub. Assume the tub measures 1.3 m by 0.5 m by 0.3 m. One-half of its volume is then 3 V = (0.5)(1.3)(0.5)(0.3) = 0.10 m The mass of this volume of water is mwater = ρwaterV = ( 1 000 kg/m 3 ) ( 0.10 m 3 ) = 100 kg 102 kg (b) Pennies are now mostly zinc, but consider copper pennies filling 50% of the volume of the tub. The mass of copper required is mcopper = ρcopperV = ( 8 920 kg/m 3 ) ( 0.10 m 3 ) = 892 kg ~ 103 kg P1.33 Don’t reach for the telephone book or do a Google search! Think. Each full-time piano tuner must keep busy enough to earn a living. Assume 7 a total population of 10 people. Also, let us estimate that one person in one hundred owns a piano. Assume that in one year a single piano tuner can service about 1 000 pianos (about 4 per day for 250 weekdays), and that each piano is tuned once per year. Therefore, the number of tuners ⎛ 1 tuner ⎞ ⎛ 1 piano ⎞ ⎝ 1 000 pianos ⎟⎠ ⎜⎝ 100 people ⎟⎠ ( =⎜ 107 people ) ∼ 100 tuners If you did reach for an Internet directory, you would have to count. Instead, have faith in your estimate. Fermi’s own ability in making an order-of-magnitude estimate is exemplified by his measurement of the energy output of the first nuclear bomb (the Trinity test at Alamogordo, New Mexico) by observing the fall of bits of paper as the blast wave swept past his station, 14 km away from ground zero. P1.34 A reasonable guess for the diameter of a tire might be 2.5 ft, with a circumference of about 8 ft. Thus, the tire would make ( 50 000 mi ) ( 5 280 ft/mi ) (1 rev/8 ft ) = 3 × 107 rev ~ 107 rev © 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

METHOD ONE: We treat the best value with its uncertainty as a binomial, (21.3 ± 0.2) cm × (9.8 ± 0.1) cm, and obtain the area by expanding: A = [ 21.3 ( 9.8 ) ± 21.3 ( 0.1) ± 0.2 ( 9.8 ) ± ( 0.2 )( 0.1)] cm 2 The first term gives the best value of the area. The cross terms add together to give the uncertainty and the fourth term is negligible. A = 209 cm 2 ± 4 cm 2 METHOD TWO: We add the fractional uncertainties in the data. ⎛ 0.2 0.1 ⎞ A = ( 21.3 cm )( 9.8 cm ) ± ⎜ + ⎝ 21.3 9.8 ⎟⎠ = 209 cm 2 ± 2% = 209 cm 2 ± 4 cm 2 P1.36 (a) The ± 0.2 following the 78.9 expresses uncertainty in the last digit. Therefore, there are three significant figures in 78.9 ± 0.2. (b) Scientific notation is often used to remove the ambiguity of the number of significant figures in a number. Therefore, all the digits in 3.788 are significant, and 3.788 × 109 has four significant figures. (c) Similarly, 2.46 has three significant figures, therefore 2.46 × 10–6 has three significant figures. (d) Zeros used to position the decimal point are not significant. Therefore 0.005 3 has two significant figures. Uncertainty in a measurement can be the result of a number of factors, including the skill of the person doing the measurements, the precision and the quality of the instrument used, and the number of measurements made. P1.37 We work to nine significant digits: ⎛ 365. 242 199 d ⎞ ⎛ 24 h ⎞ ⎛ 60 min ⎞ ⎛ 60 s ⎞ 1 yr = 1 yr ⎜ ⎟⎠ ⎜⎝ 1 d ⎟⎠ ⎜⎝ 1 h ⎟⎠ ⎜⎝ 1 min ⎟⎠ ⎝ 1 yr = 315 569 26.0 s P1.38 (a) 756 + 37.2 + 0.83 + 2 = 796.03 → 796 , since the number with the fewest decimal places is 2. © 2014 Cengage Learning.

We know o = s + 0.947s = 1.947s, and o = s + 18. We eliminate o by substitution: s + 18 = 1.947s → 0.947s = 18 → s = 18 / 0.947 = 19 P1.40 “One and one-third months” = 4/3 months.

We know s/m = 2.25 and s + m = 91. We eliminate m by substitution: m = s/2.25 → s + s/2.25 = 91 → 1.444s = 91 → s = 91/1.444 = 63 © 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

FIG. P1.44 requires. The tangent function is negative in the second quadrant (between 90° and 180°) and in the fourth quadrant (from 270° to 360°). The solutions to the equation are then 360° − 71.6° = 288° and 180° − 71.6 = 108° s *P1.45 (a) ANS. FIG. P1.45 shows that the hypotenuse of the right triangle has a length of 9.00 m θ and the unknown side is opposite the angle φ. Since the two angles in the triangle are not known, we can obtain the length of the φ unknown side, which we will represent as s, using the Pythagorean Theorem: ANS. FIG. P1.45 s + ( 6.00 m ) = ( 9.00 m ) 2 2 2 s 2 = ( 9.00 m ) − ( 6.00 m ) = 45 2 2 which gives s = 6.71 m. We express all of our answers in three significant figures since the lengths of the two known sides of the triangle are given with three significant figures. (b) From ANS. FIG. P1.45, the tangent of θ is equal to ratio of the side opposite the angle, 6.00 m in length, and the side adjacent to the angle, s = 6.71 m, and is given by 6.00 m 6.00 m tan θ = = = 0.894 s 6.71 m (c) From ANS.

It goes beyond proving that the suggested answer works. The equation 2x4 – 3x3 + 5x – 70 = 0 is quartic, so ANS. FIG. P1.46 © 2014 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Chapter 1 17 we do not attempt to solve it with algebra. To find how many real solutions the equation has and to estimate them, we graph the expression: x –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 y = 2x4 – 3x3 + 5x – 70 158 –24 –70 –70 –66 –52 26 270 We see that the equation y = 0 has two roots, one around x = –2.2 and the other near x = +2.7. To home in on the first of these solutions we compute in sequence: When x = –2.2, y = –2.20. The root must be between x = –2.2 and x = –3. When x = –2.3, y = 11.0. The root is between x = –2.2 and x = –2.3. When x = –2.23, y = 1.58. The root is between x = –2.20 and x = –2.23. When x = –2.22, y = 0.301. The root is between x = –2.20 and –2.22. When x = –2.215, y = –0.331. The root is between x = –2.215 and –2.22. We could next try x = –2.218, but we already know to three-digit precision that the root is x = –2.22. P1.47 When the length changes by 15.8%, the mass changes by a much larger percentage. We will write each of the sentences in the problem as a mathematical equation. 3 Mass is proportional to length cubed: m = kℓ , where k is a constant. This model of growth is reasonable because the lamb gets thicker as it gets longer, growing in three-dimensional space. At the initial and final points, mi = k3i and m f = k3f Length changes by 15.8%: 15.8% of ℓ means 0.158 times ℓ. Thus ℓi + 0.158 ℓi = ℓf and ℓf = 1.158 ℓi Mass increases by 17.3 kg: mi + 17.3 kg = mf Now we combine the equations using algebra, eliminating the unknowns ℓi, ℓf, k, and mi by substitution: From ℓf = 1.158 ℓi, we have 3f = 1.1583 3i = 1.553 3i Then m f = k 3f = k (1.553)3i = 1.553 k 3i = 1.553mi and mi = m f /1.553 Next, mi + 17.3 kg = mf becomes mf /1.553 + 17.3 kg = mf Solving, 17.3 kg = mf – mf /1.553 = mf (1 – 1/1.553) = 0.356 mf © 2014 Cengage Learning.

The angle θ between these two radii has its sides perpendicular, right side to right side and left side to left side, to the 35° angle between the original and final tangential directions of travel. A most useful theorem from geometry then identifies these angles as equal: θ = 35°. The whole circumference of a 360° circle of the same radius is ANS. FIG. P1.48 2πR.

P1.49 Use substitution to solve simultaneous equations. We substitute p = 3q into each of the other two equations to eliminate p: ⎧3qr = qs ⎪ ⎨1 1 2 1 2 ⎪⎩ 2 3qr + 2 qs = 2 qt 2 ⎧3r = s These simplify to ⎨ 2 , assuming q ≠ 0. ⎩ 3r + s 2 = t 2 We substitute the upper relation into the lower equation to eliminate s: t2 3r 2 + ( 3r ) = t 2 → 12r 2 = t 2 → = 12 2 r2 t We now have the ratio of t to r: = ± 12 = ±3.46 r P1.50 First, solve the given equation for Δt: 4QL ⎡ 4QL ⎤⎡ 1 ⎤ Δt = =⎢ ⎥ kπ d (Th − Tc ) ⎣ kπ (Th − Tc ) ⎦ ⎢⎣ d 2 ⎥⎦ 2 © 2014 Cengage Learning.

(c) Plot Δt on the vertical axis and 1/d 2 on the horizontal axis. (d) From the last version of the equation, the slope is 4QL / kπ (Th − Tc ). Note that this quantity is constant as both ∆t and d vary. P1.51 (a) The fourth experimental point from the top is a circle: this point lies just above the best-fit curve that passes through the point (400 cm2, 0.20 g). The interval between horizontal grid lines is 1 space = 0.05 g. We estimate from the graph that the circle has a vertical separation of 0.3 spaces = 0.015 g above the best-fit curve. (b) The best-fit curve passes through 0.20 g: ⎛ 0.015 g ⎞ ⎜⎝ 0.20 g ⎟⎠ × 100 = 8% (c) The best-fit curve passes through the origin and the point (600 cm3, 3.1 g).

Chapter 1 27 P1.68 The table below shows α in degrees, α in radians, tan(α), and sin(α) for angles from 15.0° to 31.1°: difference between α′ (deg) α (rad) tan(α) sin(α) α and tan α 15.0 0.262 0.268 0.259 2.30% 20.0 0.349 0.364 0.342 4.09% 30.0 0.524 0.577 0.500 9.32% 33.0 0.576 0.649 0.545 11.3% 31.0 0.541 0.601 0.515 9.95% 31.1 0.543 0.603 0.516 10.02% We see that α in radians, tan(α), and sin(α) start out together from zero and diverge only slightly in value for small angles. Thus 31.0° is the tan α − α largest angle for which < 0.1. tan α P1.69 We write “millions of cubic feet” as 106 ft3, and use the given units of time and volume to assign units to the equation.

P1.70 (a) and (b), the two triangles are shown. ANS. FIG. P1.70(a) ANS. FIG. P1.70(b) (c) From the triangles, y tan 12.0° = → y = x tan 12.0° x y and tan 14.0° = → y = (x − 1.00 km)tan 14.0°. (x − 1.00 km) (d) Equating the two expressions for y, we solve to find y = 1.44 km. P1.71 Observe in Fig. 1.71 that the radius of the horizontal cross section of the bottle is a relative maximum or minimum at the two radii cited in the problem; thus, we recognize that as the liquid level rises, the time rate of change of the diameter of the cross section will be zero at these positions. The volume of a particular thin cross section of the shampoo of thickness h and area A is V = Ah, where A = π r 2 = π D2 /4. Differentiate the volume with respect to time: dV dh dA dh d dh dr =A +h = A + h (π r 2 ) = A + 2π hr dt dt dt dt dt dt dt Because the radii given are a maximum and a minimum value, dr/dt = 0, so dV dh 1 dV 1 dV 4 dV +A = Av → v = = = dt dt A dt π D /4 dt π D2 dt 2 where v = dh/dt is the speed with which the level of the fluid rises.
