Q.Two polarizing sheets are placed together with their transmission axes crossed so that no light is transmitted. A third sheet is inserted between them with its transmission axis at an angle of 31.0° with respect to the axis of the first sheet. Find the fraction of incident unpolarized light intensity transmitted by the three-sheet combination. (Assume each polarizing sheet is ideal.)
Q. A 4.0 kg mass is hung from a string which is wrapped around a cylindrical pulley (a cylindrical shell). If the mass accelerates downward at 4.90 m/s2, what is the mass of the pulley?
