Answer:

fluid force = 1309 lb

Explanation:

Given data

wide = 63 inches

distance below water surface = 1.5 inches

distance below surface = 40.5 inches

weight-density of seawater W = 64 lb/ft

to find out

fluid force against the window

solution

we consider here A(y) is the depth of fluid and B(y) length of portion at y

so we can say y1 = 0 so y2 will be 33.5 - 0.5 = 33 inches = 2.75 feet

so A(y) = 33.5/12 - y ) feet

and B(y) = 63 inches = 5.25 feet

fluid force = W $\int_{y1}^{y2}$ A(y) B(y) dy

so take limit y = 0 to y = 2.77

fluid force = 64 $\int_{0}^{2.75}$ ((33.5/12) -y ) (5.25) dy

fluid force = 64×5.25/12 $\int_{0}^{2.75}$ ((33.5 -12y ) dy

fluid force = 28 $(33.5y - 6y^2)^{2.75} _0$

fluid force = 28 × 46.75 - 0

so fluid force = 1309 lb

35 N = (70 kg) a

a = 0.5 m/s²

Given v₀ = 0 m/s and Δx = 15 m:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

A celebrating student throws a water balloon horizontally from a dormitory window that is 50 m above the ground. It hits the gro

Contact [7]

Answer:

a) The horizontal velocity of the balloon just before it hits the ground is 6 m/s

b) The magnitude of the vertical velocity of the balloon just before it hits the ground is 98 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The velocity and position vectors of the water balloon are given by the following equations:

r =(x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v =(v0x, v0y + g · t)

where:

r = position vector at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical position.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward position as positive) .

v = velocity vector at time t.

a) Please, see the attached figure for a graphic description of the problem.

Considering the origin of the frame of reference as the point of launch, notice that the position vector when the balloon hits the ground is

r1 = (60, -50) m

Then:

r1x = 60 m = v0x · t

r1y = -50 m = 1/2 · (-9.8 m/s²) · t²

(notice that the initial vertical velocity is zero, see figure).

Solving r1y for t:

(-50 m · 2) / -9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 10 s

Now, let´s replace t in the r1x equation and solve it for the horizontal component of the velocity:

60 m = v0x · 10 s

v0x = 60 m / 10 s

v0x = 6 m/s

The initial horizontal component of the velocity is 6 m/s. This velocity is constant because there is no air resistance. Then, just before the balloon hits the ground, it will have a horizontal velocity of 6 m/s.

b) To calculate the vertical component of the velocity when the balloon hits the ground, let´s use the equation of the vertical component of the velocity:

v1y = v0y + g · t

Since v0y = 0

v1y = -9.8 m/s² · (10 s) = -98 m/s

The magnitude of the vertical velocity of the balloon when it hits the ground is 98 m/s.

A solid cylindrical bar conducts heat at a rate of 25 W from a hot to a cold reservoir under steady state conditions. If both th

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Using the new cylinder the heat rate between the reservoirs would be 50 W

Explanation:

Conduction could be described by the Law of Fourierin the form: $Q=kA\frac{T_1-T_2}{L}$ where $Q$ is the rate of heat transferred by conduction, $k$ is the thermal conductivity of the material, $T_1$ and $T_2$ are the temperatures of each heat deposit, $A$ is the cross area to the flow of heat, and ${L}$ is the distance that the flow of heat has to go.
For the original cylinder the Fourier's law would be: $kA_1\frac{T_1-T_2}{L_1}=25W$ , and if $A_1=\frac{\pi D_{1}^{2}}{4}$ , then the expression would be: $k\frac{\pi D_1^{2}}{4} \frac{T_1-T_2}{L_1}=25W$ where $D_1$ is the diameter of the original cylinder, and ${L_1}$ is the length of the original cylinder.
For the new cylinder, in the same fashion that for the first, Fourier's Law would be: $Q_2=k\frac{\pi D_2^2}{4}\frac{T_1-T_2}{L_2}$ ,where $Q_2$ is the heat rate in the second case, $D_2$ and ${L_2$ are the new diameter and length.
But, $D_2=2D_1$ and $L_2=2L_1$ , substituting in the expression for $Q_2$ : $Q_2=k\frac{\pi (2D_1)^2}{4}\frac{T_1-T_2}{2L_1}$ .
Rearranging: $Q_2=\frac{2^2}{2}(k\frac{\pi D_1^2}{4}\frac{T_1-T_2}{L_1})$ .
In the last declaration of $Q_2$ , it could be noted that the expressión inside the parenthesis is actually $Q_1$ , then: $Q_2=\frac{2^2}{2}(25W)=50W$ .
<u>It should be noted, that the temperatures in the hot and cold reservoirs never change.</u>
