A person is standing at the edge of the water and looking out at the ocean (see figure). The height of the person's eyes above the water is h = 1.5 m, and the radius of the Earth is R = 6.38 x 106m. (a) How far is it to the horizon? In other words, what is the dista d from the person's eyes to the horizon? (Note: At the horizon the angle between the line of sight and the radius of the earth is 90°) (b) Express this distance in miles.​

Asheet of steel 1.5 mm thick has nitrogen atmospheres on both sides at 1200oc and is permitted to achieve a steady-state diffusion condition. the diffusion coefficient for nitrogen in steel at this temperature is 6 x 10- 11 m2 /s, and the diffusion flux is found to be 1.2 x 10-7 kg/m2 -s. also, it is known that the concentration of nitrogen in the steel at the high-pressure surface is 4 kg/m3 . how far into the sheet from this high-pressure side will the concentration be 2.0 kg/m3 ? assume a linear concentration profile.
