You are on a co-op job with a construction firm that has been contracted to build a large waterfront pier on Lake Lanier. You are on-site one afternoon while they are driving the steel footings upon which the pier will be constructed. You watch as a large pile-driving machine lifts a heavy weight to a height of 3 meters above a vertical steel I-beam that is partially embedded in the lakebed. The weight is released, falling along guide-rails to strike squarely atop the I-beam. You notice that the beam is forced down about 14 cm with each drop of the weight. At that moment your co-op supervisor walks up and, as a test, asks you to estimate the average force on the beam during such an impact. She tells you that the pile driver uses a 750 lb weight as its hammerhead. Your first guess is 750 pounds" which she replies, "Try again." What is your second response?

Ascientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surface, making it look rainbow-like (an effect known as iridescence). she aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). the index of refraction of water is 1.3
