A house on a hill is enclosed by a circular fence with center at the front door. The fence is made of wooden boards of...
Kristin boards a Ferris wheel at the 3-o'clock and rides the Ferris wheel for one full rotation (as shown below). The radius of the Ferris wheel is 12 meters. Let s represent the varying number of meters Kristin has traveled along the circular path since the ride started. Kristin 0:00/0:11 a. Write an expression (in terrms of s) to represent the number of radians Kristin has swept out since the ride started. Preview b. Write an expression (in terms of...
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...
