A long time ago,a student was in a physics class.He had achieved an(41)
perfect score,but the marker had (42)
him poorly on one question.The question had asked him how he would (43)
the height of a building using a barometer(气压计).[
The student had written down."Go to the (44)
of the building.Drop the barometer and (45)
the seconds until it drops on the sidewalk below.(46)
use the formula(公式)for acceleration by gravity to (47)
the height of the building."
Of course,with the help of a barometer,the (48)
expected the student to use air pressure as a tool for measuring height.So he couldn't (49)
that part of the test.
When the student brought up that his answer (50)
solve the question being asked,the professor promised he would let the student answer the question again with a different (51)
.And if the student solved the problem (52)
,he would award him the marks for the question.
Immediately the student (53)
that he would use the barometer to knock on the (54)
of the landlord in the building.When the landlord answered the door.he would ask,"How (55)
is this building?"
At once,the professor (56)
what the student was doing.He asked him if he knew of any (57)
methods to reach the answer.The student answered that he would (58)
a long string to the barometer and measure the length of the string.
The professor decided to (59)
the student the marks.As the story goes,the student was young Niels Bohr,later becoming the famous (60)
and discovering the nature of electrons inside atoms.
