Laser Tube Physics

The hardest physics/engineering problem ive seen. can anyon answer please?hat would you like to ask?
A pipe one mile in length and with 1-inch inside with diameter is set in the ground such that it is optically straight that is laser beam will pass down the centerline of the whole pipe. The centerline of the pipe is exactly level; that is at right angles with a line passing through the center of the earth. Now, by means of a funnel and rubber tubing. water is poured into one end of the pipe until it flows from the other end. The funnel and tubing are removed and water is allowed to flow freely from the open ends. Neglect the surface tension of the water (it and calculate how much water is left in the pipe. (Hint: The answer is not zero, and take the radius of the earth to be exactly 4000 miles)
The question in not how long will it take the water to flow, but how much is left in the pipe.
The surface of the water will seek the lowest equipotential level, meaning that the water that is left in the pipe will match the curvature of the earth (just like oceans do). So at both ends of the pipe, the level of water is zero, and its surface rises on a radius of 4000 miles until the center of the pipe is reached, where the water height is maximum, and then it curves back down to zero height at the other end of the pipe.
To analyze this problem, look at a horizontal slice of the pipe. Write an equation for the area that is occupied by water. The water height (and thus area) is a function of the distance along the pipe. Then integrate that equation along the length of the pipe (or along the first half of the pipe length and double the result). The answer will be the volume of water remaining in the pipe. Convert to volumetric units of your choice.
By the way, "level" means a curved line or curved surface that is perpendicular to the gravity vector (like the surface of oceans, ignoring tidal effects). The pipe is straight. It is not level anywhere except at the point halfway between the ends of the pipe.

| | Laser Physics $147.58 This book treats the interaction of radiation with matter, particular attention being paid to the laser. Knowledge is assumed of the usual halfyear introduction of quantum mechanics found in undergraduate physics curricula. The material can be covered in two semesters, or, alternatively, the first part (Chaps 113) can be used as a onesemester course in which quantum mechanical aspects of the electromagnetic field are ignored. Each chapter is accompanied by problems that illustrate the text and give useful (occasionally new) results. Existing laser media are intrinsically quantum mechanical and are most easily studied with the quantum theory. Understanding the laser along these lines enlivens ones understanding of quantum mechanics itself. In fact, the material constitutes a viable, applied alternative for the usual second and third semesters of quantum mechanics. Author: Sargent, Murry III/ Sargent, Murray/ Scully, Marian O.

| | Laser Physics (Hardcover) $416.83 In Laser Physics the interaction of radiation and matter, and the principles of laser operation are treated at a level suitable for fourth-year undergraduate courses or introductory graduate courses in physics, chemistry or engineering. The factors which determine efficiency, wavelength coverage, output power, and beam quality of the different classes of laser are treated both in terms of fundamental theory and practical construction aspects. Details of established types of solid-state, semiconductor, and gas lasers are examined together with the techniques that enable their output to be converted widely across the spectrum. The latest advances in high power fibre lasers, femtosecond lasers, and X-ray lasers are explained. The text is liberally illustrated with more than 300 diagrams. An extensive bibliography is provided, together with numerical problems in each chapter. Solutions are available via the web. |
| | Problems in Laser Physics $157.72 This book presents the first comprehensive collection of solved problems in laser physics covering both fundamental and applied aspects of laser science and technology. The framework of the book, including structuring of topics and notations, closely follows that adopted in the Principles of Laser book by Professor O. Svelto. The collection of problems presented in this book appears therefore a natural complement to Sveltos textbook for testing and developing the skills acquired in the reading of the theory; however, it may also be a useful support to any general textbook on laser physics, wherein problems are usually not solved in detail. We remark that this is, to our knowledge, the first book to provide a complete and satisfactory set of solved problems in such a highly developing field of science and technology. The problems fall mainly into three distinct categories: (i) numerical/applied problems, which help the reader to become confident and familiar with the basic concepts and methods of laser physics, and to acquire a feeling for numerical parameters entering in realworld laser systems; (ii) complementary problems, that present in detail demonstrations of some analytical parts not given in the textbook; and (iii) advanced problems, aimed either to provide a deeper understanding of the subject or to cover more recent developments in the field. Audience: This book is primarily intended for undergraduate and graduate students in physics, engineering, and chemistry. However, it may also be a useful tool for industrial professionals working in the field of laser technologies and laser applications, as well as for researchers interested in basic aspects of realworld lasers and related fields.

Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication
Metal fabrication is a process of producing a metal component by modifying a raw piece of material in a machine shop. These materials are processed on different temperatures and depending on the range of temperatures; the process is classified as cold, warm and hot. Precision sheet metal fabrication describes various different processes that form sheet metal into finished products. Objects that are fabricated and used for machinery and other instruments are among the daily used objects like paper clips, computers, bolts, nails, automotive parts and many more.
There are various factors like rate of production, desired geometry, and other physical requirements that influence the fabrication process. The benefits of the metal fabrication process are far and wide because it is used by all industries. Every precision sheet metal fabrication process undergoes three primary processes that include forming, cutting and finishing. Forming is a process that alters the form of the flat metal sheet. Forming can be done using various different processes like annealing, bending, cold rolling, drawing, forging, mechanical working, press forming, roll forming and welding. After forming, a metal sheet is cut to alter the shape by removing some unwanted material. The cutting process includes stamping, shearing, sawing, drilling, blanking and punching. Finally, the last stage is the finishing process. In this process, the shaped metal sheet is given a finished and soft surface using sanding and vibration techniques. Aesthetic considerations like painting and visual design applications are also few of the method applied to give the finishing touch. Some of the latest techniques in metal fabrication involve laser cutting, electro discharge machining, water jet cutting and wire cut EDM. In some cases CNC machining is also used.
There are various products that are created during precision sheet metal fabrication. The most common objects produced are metal cabinets, enclosures, ventilation shafts, hoods, exhaust systems, tanks and prototypes. Metal fabrication is also used by various other industries for food dispensing, food storage, communications, automotive, computer, medical, electronics, aerospace, telecommunication, pharmaceutical, residential and construction.
Some of the types of Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication include processes like Annealing (heating), Bending (straining), Cold forming, Cold rolling (shaping sheet metal using rollers), Drawing (material is forced into a die with a punch to form a cup-like shape), Forging hammering or pressing), Rolling (reducing thickness of the material), Extrusion (producing cylindrical bars or hollow tubes by forcing round billets through one or more dies) and Spinning (forms axially symmetrical shapes).
