A surveyor measures the distance across a river that flows straight north by the following method. Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, the surveyor walks 100 m along the river to establish a baseline. She then sights across to the tree and reads that the angle from the baseline to the tree is 35 . How wide is the river?
In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 1.00 102 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline lo the tree is = 35.0 (Fig. P1.53). How wide is the river? Figure P1.53

The first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, at the Trinity test site about 200 mi south of Los Alamos. In 1947, the U.S. government declassified a film reel of the explosion. From this film reel, British physicist G.I. Taylor was able to determine the rate at which the radius of the fireball from the blast grew. Using dimensional analysis, he was then able to deduce the amount of energy released in the explosion, which was a closely guarded secret at the time. Because of this, Taylor did not publish his results until 1950. This problem challenges you to recreate this famous calculation. (a) Using keen physical insight developed from years of experience, Taylor decided the radius rof the fireball should depend only on time since the explosion, t, the density of the air, , and the energy of the initial explosion, E. Thus, he made the educated guess that r=kEabtcfor some dimensionless constant kand some unknown exponents a,b, and c. Given that [E]=ML2T-2 , determine the values of the exponents necessary to make this equation dimensionally consistent. (Hint: Notice the equation implies that k=rEabtcand that [k]=1 ). (b) By analyzing data from high-energy conventional explosives, Taylor found the formula he derived seemed to be valid as long as the constant khad the value 1.03. From the film reel, he was able to determine many values of rand the corresponding values of t. For example, he found that after 25.0 ms, the fireball had a radius of 130.0 m. Use these values, along with an average air density of 1.25kg/m3 , to calculate the initial energy release of the Trinity detonation in joules (J). (Hint: To get energy in joules, you need to make sure all the numbers you substitute in are expressed in terms of SI base units.) (c) The energy released in large explosions is often cited in units of “tons of TNT” (abbreviated “t TNT”), where 1 t TNT is about 4.2 GJ. Convert yow answer to (b) into kilotons of TNT (that is, kt TNT). Compare your answer with the quick-and-duty estimate of 10 kt TNT made by physicist Enrico Fermi shortly after witnessing the explosion from what was thought to be a safe distance. (Reportedly, Fermi made his estimate by dropping some shredded bits of paper right before the remnants of the shock wave hit him and looked to see how far they were carried by it.)
Starting at the island of Moi in an unknown archipelago, a fishing boat makes a round trip with two stops at the islands of Noi and Poi. It sails from Moi for 4.76 nautical miles (nmi) in a direction 37 north of east to Noi. From Noi, it sails 69 west of north to Poi. On its return leg from Poi, it sails 28 east of south. What distance does the boat sail between Noi and Poi? What distance does it sail between Moi and Poi? Express your answer both in nautical miles and in kilometei. Note: 1 nmi = 1852m.
