AI Thread Summary
To calculate the illuminance on a table directly below one of two 640-candle lamps, the equation E = I/s^2 is applied, where E is illuminance, I is luminous intensity, and s is the distance from the light source. Initially, the calculation yielded 10 ft-c, but the expected answer is 15 ft-c, leading to confusion. The user considered the geometry of right triangles formed by the lamps' positions, calculating the hypotenuse as 10 ft and attempting to add the illuminance from both lamps. However, the combined illuminance calculation resulted in 16.4 ft-c, which still did not match the book's answer. The discussion seeks clarification on the correct approach to solving this illuminance problem.

Homework Statement


Two 640-candle lamps are placed 6.0 ft apart and 8.0 ft above a table. Calculate the illuminance on the table directly below one of the lamps.


Homework Equations


The illuminance equation, to the best of my knowledge is as follows:
E = I/s^2 and E = (I/s^2)(cos x).


The Attempt at a Solution


Alright, so at first I thought that it was just asking for me to find the illuminance on the table with regards to one of these lamps. So that E = (640-candles)/(8.0 ft)^2 = (640-candles)/64.0 ft^2 = 10 lu/ft^2 = 10 ft-c.
However, the answer in the back of the book is 15 ft-c. So I was very puzzled. Then I thought that, hey, maybe right triangles have something to do with this problem. After all, the distance between the lamps and the height of the lamps can form right-triangles if you're only taking the illuminance directly under one lamp into consideration. That hypotenuse would then be 10 ft, since 6^2 + 8^2 = x^2 -> 36 + 64 = x^2 -> 100 = x^2 -> x = 10. So I thought I had to calculate the illuminance like before and then add to that the illuminance of the second lamp with the distance being 10 ft. So that ended up with E2 = I2/(s2)^2 = (640-candles)/100 ft^2 = 6.4 lu/ft^2 = 6.4 ft-c. 10 ft-c + 6.4 ft-c = 16.4 ft-c, but 16.4 ft-c is not 15.0 ft-c, so I am doing something wrong. Can someone please point out my flaw so that I may solve this problem and further understand how to correctly approach this (and others like it)?

Ah, I forgot to mention: E is the illuminance, I is the luminous flux, and s is the distance.
 
Argh, I sincerely apologize! I is luminous intensity (obviously!), not luminous flux, which would be F.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
