A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 106 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline to the tree is = 32.8°. How wide is the river?

Uranium has two naturally occurring isotopes. 238u has a natural abundance of 99.3% and 235u has an abundance of 0.7%. it is the rarer 235u that is needed for nuclear reactors. the isotopes are separated by forming uranium hexafluoride uf6, which is a gas, then allowing it to diffuse through a series of porous membranes. 235uf6 has a slightly larger rms speed than 238uf6 and diffuses slightly faster. many repetitions of this procedure gradually separate the two isotopes. what is the ratio of the rms speed of 235uf6 to that of 238uf6? express your answer to five significant figures.
