Constants and Conversion Factors Γ for 137Cs=0.33 R m2/Ci hr C=0.00873 J/kg R Mass attenuation coefficient of water=0.0326 cm2/g Mass attenuation coefficient of air=0.0293 cm2/g Attenuation coefficient of lead=1.23 cm−1 For x-rays, 1Gy = 1Sv 1. What is the total exposure at a point 0.5 m from a 50 mCi source of 137Cs after 3 hours? Answer .198R 2/Assuming a person is made entirely of water, what is the dose to the person at the same distance from the source as above? 3/If this person was shielded by 2 cm of lead at a distance of 2m from the source, what will the new dose to the person be? 4/ If the person is a member of the public and was exposed continuously to the dose in Question 3, how long will it take before this person reaches his yearly limit? Annual limit of exposure for the public is 1mSv. For x-rays 1 Gy=1 Sv. 5/ What is the time needed to reach the limit if there is no lead? 6)What is the time needed if there is lead, but a much stronger source of 3Ci?

The person’s mass, m= 68.1 kg, the unknown drag coefficient is, c , with units kg/s, and the local acceleration of gravity is g= 9.80 m/s2 . Our model for the person’s velocity vs time gave us a linear differential equation whose analytical solution was the following: V(t) = g*m/c*[1-exp(-c/m*t)]. Your job is to find “c”. You need to use the MATLAB “help” documentation to find the nonlinear curve fitting function and syntax for how to use it. Hint you...

A mass of m = 1 Kg of an ideal gas (gas constant R= 278 J/KgK) undergoes two polytropic processes. During the first process temperature increases from 27 0C to 237 0C and volume decreases from 1 m3 to 0.3 m3. During the second process temperature increases to 473 0C and volume is constant. The isentropic exponent of the gas is 1.4. Determine (a) Polytropic exponents (b) missing properties of the gas (c) heat and work of the first process...
