B is the second letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English (pronounced /ˈbiː/) is spelled bee, plural bees. It is used to represent a variety of bilabial sounds (depending on language), most commonly a voiced bilabial plosive.

History

‹B›started as a pictogram of the floorplan of a house in Egyptian hieroglyphs or the Proto-Sinaitic alphabet. By 1050 BC, the Phoenician alphabet's letter had a linear form that served as the beth.

Typography

The modern lowercase ‹b› derives from later Roman times, when scribes began omitting the upper loop of the capital.

‹B› is often confused with the visually similar Germanß› which stands for ‹ss›.

How much will the piston be pushed up point b compared to its height at point a?
Q. The gas in the engine is heated to a higher temperature. As the gas is heated, it expands pushing the syringe piston up. Let's assume that this process is isobaric. The temperature of the gas at point a is 20.2 C, and the gas temperature at point b is 59.7 C. If the diameter of the syringe piston is 1 cm and the volume of the gas at point b is 26.1 cm3, how much will the piston be pushed up at point b compared to its height at point a?

A. PV/T is constant. In a constant pressure process, V1/V2 = T1/T2 ==> V1 = V2T1/T2 = 26.1*(20.2+273.15)/(59.7+ 273.15) = 23.003 cm^3. Take the difference between this value and 26.1 cm^3, and divide the result by the piston area. The result is a piston stroke length of 3.097/(pi*0.5^2) = 3.944 cm.

What is the magnitude of the initial velocity that player B's ball must be given?
Q. Baseball player A bunts the ball by hitting it in such a way that it acquires an initial velocity of 1.70 m/s parallel to the ground. Upon contact with the bat the ball is 1.26 m above the ground. Player B wishes to duplicate this bunt, in so far as he also wants to give the ball a velocity parallel to the ground and have his ball travel the same horizontal distance as player A's ball does. However, player B hits the ball when it is 1.42 m above the ground.

A. Vb = Va* (ya/yb) = 1.7* (1.26/1.42) = 1.6 m/s
