Answer #1

V fatal = I×R

I=47 mA

R=1700 ohm

Now

The fatal voltage will

Be = 47 × 10-3 ×1700

V=79.9 volt

    Chapter 13, Problem 018 Flying Circus of Physics Mountain pull. A large mountain can slightly affect the direction of "down" as determined by a plumb line. Assume that we can model a mountain as a sphere of radius R 1.00 km and density (mass per unit volume) 2.6 × 103 kg/m3. Assume also that we hang a 0.750m plumb line at a distance of 3R from the sphere's center and such that the sphere pulls horizontally on the lower end....
