A certain red giant star has a luminosity of 100,000 times that of the Sun and is located 600 light-years from Earth. If the apparent magnitude of the star is observed to be m=0, calculate the rate of interstellar extinction in the direction of the star.

If someone could show me step by step how to solve this I would be appreciative.

Bycicles convert force into torque (pedal to axis), torque into force (axis to chain using the front gear), force into a torque (chain to back wheel using back gear), and finally, torque into force (wheel on road), and that accelerates the bike. If you make the front gear smaller, is it easier or harder to pedal (explain in terms of forces/torques)? If you make the back gear smaller, is it easier or harder to pedal?

The figure shows two parallel nonconducting rings with their central axes along a common line. Ring 1 has uniform charge q₁ and radius R; ring 2 has uniform charge q₂ and the same radius R.
