Water being diverted during a flood in Helsinki, Finland (latitude 60°N) flows along a diversion
channel of width 47 m in the south direction at a speed of 3.4 m/s. On which side is the water the
highest (from the standpoint of noninertial systems) and by how much?
Solution
That angle of the water surface is tan alpha = 2 w v cos theta / g
= (2 * 2 pi * 3.4 * cos 60) / (9.8) * (24 * 60)
= 4.36 * 10-5 rad
The difference in height of the water on the two sides is
= w * tan alpha = 47 * 4.36 * 10-5
= 2.05 mm.

microorganisms
Solution
Prokaryotes contain a single type of RNA polymerase, while eukaryotes (multicellular organisms
and yeasts) contain three distinct types.
Transcription in Prokaryotes
In prokaryotes, all transcription is performed by a single type of RNA polymerase. This
polymerase contains four catalytic subunits and a single regulatory subunit known as sigma (s).
Several distinct sigma factors have been identified, and each of these oversees transcription of a
unique set of genes. Sigma factors are thus discriminatory, as each binds a distinct set of
promoter sequences.
Transcrption in eukaryotes
in eukaryotes, transcription is achieved by three different types of RNA polymerase (RNA pol I-
III). These polymerases differ in the number and type of subunits they contain, as well as the
class of RNAs they transcribe; that is, RNA pol I transcribes ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), RNA
pol II transcribes RNAs that will become messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and also small regulatory
RNAs, and RNA pol III transcribes small RNAs such as transfer RNAs (tRNAs).
