5. Consider a long rectangular "gutter" of length a in the x direction and infi- nite...
11. Consider a thin, infinitely long rectangular plate that is free of heat sources, as shown below. For a thin plate, is negligible, and the temperature is a function of x and y only. The solution for this problem is best obtained by considering scaled temperature (ie. 1-T - To, where To is the absolute temperature at T-0) variables, so that the two edges of the plate have "zero-zero" boundary conditions and the bottom of the plate is maintained at...
Please be thorough. Thanks! 2. A long hollow tube has a cross section which is the pie shaped wedge formed from the x-z plane, the y-z plane, and the curved surface x2 + y2-RE The two flat surfaces are held at zero potential and the curved surface has a potential V(r,p)Vo sinp cosp. Find the potential inside the wedge. Extra credit- include a 3D graph of the potential. 2. A long hollow tube has a cross section which is the...
L(a) A long (L>> a) cylinder in vacuum has a line charge density p is shown below, (). State the Gauss's law for electric field in words. [1) (i). In order to calculate the electric field inside the cylinder using Gauss's Law, draw an appropriate Gaussian surface in the cylinder. [1] (i). Use the above information or otherwise, show that the electric field in the radial direction Pt inside the cylinder is ,2a (assume that the charge is evenly distributed...
Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
4. Use Kepler's Second Law and the fact that L-fxp to determine at which points in an elliptical orbit around the Sun a planet has maximum and minimum speeds. (Section 13.5 will help.) 5. At the end of example 13.10, there's an "Evaluate" blurb about how inside the surface of the Earth the force of gravity varies proportionally to the distance from the center, and it makes reference to the next chapter. which is about oscillation. Model the motion of...
CASE 20 Enron: Not Accounting for the Future* INTRODUCTION Once upon a time, there was a gleaming office tower in Houston, Texas. In front of that gleaming tower was a giant "E" slowly revolving, flashing in the hot Texas sun. But in 2001, the Enron Corporation, which once ranked among the top Fortune 500 companies, would collapse under a mountain of debt that had been concealed through a complex scheme of off-balance-sheet partnerships. Forced to declare bankruptcy, the energy firm...
