A cloud directly above you is about 9° across. From the weather report, you know that the cloud is 2310 m high. How wide is the cloud? Enter your answer to a few significant digits.
To estimate the size of cloud, required parameters
1) it's angular extent
,
=9(degree)
2) its height h above the ground. h=2310 m
To get the cloud’s vertical or horizontal dimensions, the
formula to use is:
Cloud dimension =(Dimension angle(angular extent) in
degrees)*(Cloud Dist(height) in m)/(57.3 Deg.)
Then, Roughly, The linear extent of the cloud in meter can be
given by, l=h
=9*2310/57.3=362.827225
meters

This question is directly related to this lab. There is a river in front of you that flows due South at 3.0m/s. You launch a toy boat across the river with the front of the boat pointed due East. When you tested the boat on a still pond, the boat moved at 4.0m/s. Now as it moves to the opposite bank, it travels at some speed relative to you, sitting in your chair. What is this speed? Express your answer...
QUESTION 9 Cloud seeding has been studied for many decades as a weather modification procedure for an interesting study of this subject, see the article in Technometrics, "A Bayesian Analysis of a Multiplicative Treatment Effect in Weather Modification", Vol. 17, pp. 161-166). The rainfall in acre-feet from 20 clouds that were selected at random and seeded with silver nitrate follows: 18.5, 31.2, 20.3, 27.6, 22.8, 19.3, 32.3, 23.9, 21.7, 28.4. 32.4, 27.6. 25.5, 25.2, 27.4. 22.3, 29.7, 35.3, 27.2, 32.1...
Topic: Cloud-Based Organizations Overview: Your company is interested in learning more about cloud computing and the varying services offered. Your organization wants to start small by transitioning from Exchange to a cloud-based corporate email and calendar application with a service provider that can eventually support all other internal productivity programs. The head of the IT department has handed you a list of cloud-based organizations because he doesn’t have time to put together a report for the CEO that explains what...

A weather emergency siren is mounted on a tower, 165 m above the ground. On one hand, it would be a good idea to make the siren very loud so that it will warn as many people as possible. On the other hand, safety regulations prohibit the siren from exceeding an intensity level of 106 dB for workers standing on the ground directly below the siren. Assuming that the sound is uniformly emitted, what is the maximum power that the...
Part C Review A 4.5 kg box slides down a 5.2-m -high frictionless hill starting from rest, across a 2.3-m -wide horizontal surface then hits a horizontal spring with spring constant 470 N/m How far is the spring compressed? Express your answer using two significant figures The other end of the spring is anchored against a wall The ground under the spring is frictionless, but the 2.3-m- long horizontal surface is rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box...
A weather emergency siren is mounted on a tower, 153 meters above the ground. On one hand, you would like to make the siren very loud so that it will warn as many people as possible. On the other hand, safety regulations prohibit you from exceeding an intensity level of 111 dB for workers standing on the ground directly below the siren. Assuming that the sound is uniformly emitted, what is the maximum power that the siren can put out?...
A weather emergency siren is mounted on a tower, 177 m above the ground. On one hand, it would be a good idea to make the siren very loud so that it will warn as many people as possible. On the other hand, safety regulations prohibit the siren from exceeding an intensity level of 101 dB for workers standing on the ground directly below the siren. Assuming that the sound is uniformly emitted, what is the maximum power that the...
A 4.5 kg box slides down a 4.2-m -high frictionless hill, starting from rest, across a 2.2-m -wide horizontal surface, then hits a horizontal spring with spring constant 550 N/m . The other end of the spring is anchored against a wall. The ground under the spring is frictionless, but the 2.2-m-long horizontal surface is rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on this surface is 0.22. Part C How far is the spring compressed? Express your answer...
You are standing on the edge of a swimming pool and looking directly across at the opposite side. You notice that the bottom edge of the opposite side of the pool appears to be at an angle of 26.0° below the horizontal. However, when you sit on the pool edge, the bottom edge of the opposite side of the pool appears to be at an angle of only 13.2°below the horizontal. Use these observations to determine the width and depth...
