In an experiment to measure the index of refraction of human skin, it was found that if a beam of unpolarixed light was shone on a skin sample from air at an incident angle of 54.7 degrees, the reflected light was completely polarized. What is the index of refraction of this skin sample?

Molten iron fills a mould, which has a volume of 200 cm cubed. calculate the volume when the iron cools and solidifies.

Agas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series: process 12: compression with pv= constant from 1 bar and 1 liter to 4 bar. process 23: constant pressure expansion to 1 liter. process 31: constant volume calculate the pressure and volume at each state, and sketch the processes on a p-vdiagram labeled with pressure and volume values at each numbered stat

Amass weighing 24 pounds, attached to the end of a spring, stretches it 4 inches. initially, the mass is released from rest from a point 8 inches below the equilibrium position. find the equation of motion. (use g = 32 ft/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)
