At the equator, the earth’s field is essentially horizontal; near the north pole, it is nearly vertical. in between, the angle varies. as you move farther north, the dip angle, the angle of the earth’s field below horizontal, steadily increases. green turtles seem to use this dip angle to determine their latitude. suppose you are a researcher wanting to test this idea. you have gathered green turtle hatchlings from a beach where the magnetic field strength is 50 μt and the dip angle is 56 ∘. you then put the turtles in a 1.0 m diameter circular tank and monitor the direction in which they swim as you vary the magnetic field in the tank. you change the field by passing a current through a 200-turn horizontal coil wrapped around the tank. this creates a field that adds to that of the earth. what current should you pass through the coil, to produce a net field in the center of the tank that has a dip angle of 62 ∘ ? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Air is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. air enters the heat exchanger at 95 kpa and 20°c at a rate of 0.6 m^3/s. the combustion gases (cp = 1.10 kj/kg°c) enter at 160°c at a rate of 0.95 kg/s and leave at 95°c. determine the rate of heat transfer to the air and its outlet temperature.

Two students, each riding bicycles, start from the same apartment building and ride to the same building on campus, but each takes a different route. the first student rides 1100 m due east and then turns due north and travels another 1430 m before arriving at the destination. the second student heads due north for 1930 m and then turns and heads directly toward the destination.at the turning point, how far is the second student from the destination?
