Chapter 1: 4P (page 8)

Question: Spacing in this book was generally done in units of points and picas: 12 Points = 1 pica , and 6 picas =1 inch. If a figure was misplaced in the page proofs by 0.80cm , what was the misplacement in (a) picas and (b) points?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

  1. The misplacement of the figure is 1.9 picas.
  2. The misplacement of the figure is.23 points

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The conversion factors given in the problem are listed as,

6 picas = 1 inch

1 pica = 12 pints

02

Understanding the concept of conversion factors

Typographical units are units of measurement used for typography or composition. The pica is a typographic unit of measure that corresponds to inches and feet.

03

(a) Determination of misplacement in picas 

Using the given conversion factors, the misplacement of the figure is calculated as:

0.80cm=0.80cm1inch2.54cm脳6picas1inch=1.88picas鈮�1.9picas

Thus, the misplacement of the figure is 1.9 picas.

04

 Step 4: (b) Determination of misplacement in points

Use the conversion factors to calculate the misplacement of the figure in points.

0.80cm=0.80cm1inch2.54cm脳6picas1inch脳12points1picas=22.67points鈮�23points

Thus, the misplacement of the figure is 23 points.

Question: The record for the largest glass bottle was set in 1992 by a team in Millville, New Jersey鈥攖hey blew a bottle with a volume of 193 U.S. fluid gallons. (a) How much short of 1.0 million cubic centimeters is that? (b) If the bottle were filled with water at the leisurely rate of 1.8 g/min, how long would the filling take? Water has a density of 1000 kg/m3.

Iron has a density of7.87g/cm3, and the mass of an iron atom isrole="math" localid="1654573436593" 9.27脳10鈥�26kg. If the atoms are spherical and tightly packed, (a) what is the volume of an iron atom, and (b) what is the distance between the centers of adjacent atoms?

Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the Sunset over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the top of the Sun disappears. You then stand, elevating your eyes by a height H = 1.70 m, and stop the watch when the top of the Sun again disappears. If the elapsed time is t = 11.1 s, what is the radius r of Earth?

Question: Figure shows the output from a pressure monitor mounted at a point along the path taken by a sound wave of single frequency traveling at343 m/sthrough air with a uniform density of 1.12 kg/m3 . The vertical axis scale is set by 螖ps=4pa.If the displacement function of the wave is s(x,t)=smcos(kx-蝇迟),what are (a) sm (b) k (c) 蝇 ? The air is then cooled so that its density is 1.35 kg/m3 and the speed of a sound wave through it is 320 m/s. The sound source again emits the sound wave at the same frequency and same pressure amplitude. Find the following quantities (d) sm (e) k (f) 蝇?

Two waves,

y1=(2.50mm)sin[(25.1rad/m)x-(440rad/s)t]andy2=(1.50mm)sin[(25.1rad/m)x+(440rad/s)t]

travel along a stretched string. (a) Plot the resultant wave as a function of tfor,x=0,位/8,位/4,3位/8and位/2where位is the wavelength. The graphs should extend from t = 0to a little over one period. (b) The resultant wave is the superposition of a standing wave and a traveling wave. In which direction does the traveling wave move? (c) How can you change the original waves so the resultant wave is the superposition of standing and traveling waves with the same amplitudes as before but with the traveling wave moving in the opposite direction? Next, use your graphs to find the place at which the oscillation amplitude is (d) maximum and (e) minimum. (f) How is the maximum amplitude related to the amplitudes of the original two waves? (g) How is the minimum amplitude related to the amplitudes of the original two waves?
