The chandra x-ray observatory has detected x rays from a star system that contains a main-sequence star of spectral type b6. the x-ray emission is strong and fairly steady, and no sudden bursts have been observed. which of the following statements are reasonable conclusions about this system?
a) the main-sequence star orbits either a white dwarf or a neutron star.
b) the main-sequence star orbits either a neutron star or a black hole.
c) the main-sequence star must orbit a white dwarf.
d) the main-sequence star is emitting x rays.
e) gas from the main-sequence star makes an accretion disk around another object.
f) the main-sequence star must orbit a black hole.
g) some time in the next few decades, this system will undergo a nova explosion.
h) the main-sequence star must orbit a neutron star.

Suppose that two tanks, 1 and 2, each with a large opening at the top, contain different liquids. a small hole is made in the side of each tank at the same depth 1.57 m below the liquid surface, but the hole in tank 2 has 2.49 times the cross-sectional area of the hole in tank 1. (a) what is the ratio ρ1/ρ2 of the densities of the liquids if the mass flow rate is the same for the two holes? (b) what is the ratio rv1/rv2 of the volume flow rates from the two tanks? (c) at one instant, the liquid in tank 1 is 14.9 cm above the hole. if the tanks are to have equal volume flow rates, what height above the hole must the liquid in tank 2 be just then?
