    engineering

    A 1-m-diameter spherical cavity is maintained at a uniform temperature of 600 K. Now a 5-mm-diameter hole is drilled. Determine the maximum rate of radiation energy streaming through the hole. What would your answer be if the diameter of the cavity were 3 m?

    physics

    a bullet is fired horizontally with an initial velocity of 900 m/s, knowing that the bullet's mass is $m_1=0.01\text{ kg}$, and it collides with a block of mass $m_2=20\text{ kg}$, initially at equilibrium, pending from a vertical wire, and the distance from the block and the fixed end of the wire is $d=3\text{ m}$. After they collide, the bullet inserts into the block without altering the latter's initial positon, after which they both move together as whole body (no relative motion), neglecting air resistance and considering $g=9.81\text{ m}/\text{s}^2$ (parallel to the initial configuration of the wire) , determine if the final system bullet-block is able to complete a whole spin around the fixed end of the wire.
