When a surface is submerged in a fluid, the resultant pressure force on the body acts in what manner? Assume no shear forces are

present. There are no forces acting on the submerged body. Perpendicular to the surface of the body. In the same direction as the force of gravity.

Answer:

Perpendicular to the surface of the body.

Explanation:

When a surface is submerged in a fluid the resultant pressure force on the body acts perpendicular to the surface of the body. This is because fluids cannot withstand nor exert sideways forces. One could obtain this analytically considering that the origin of this force comes from the movement of the fluid molecules.

A cylindrical rod of steel (E = 207 GPa, 30 × 10 6 psi) having a yield strength of 310 MPa (45,000 psi) is to be subjected to a

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Diameter of the cylinder will be $d=2.998\times 10^4m$

Explanation:

We have given young's modulus of steel $E=207GPa=207\times 10^9Pa$

Change in length $\Delta l=0.38mm$

Length of rod $l=500mm$

Load F = 11100 KN

Strain is given by $strain=\frac{\Delta l}{l}=\frac{0.38}{500}=7.6\times 10^{-4}$

We know that young's modulus $E=\frac{stress}{strain}$

So $207\times 10^9=\frac{stress}{7.6\times 10^{-4}}$

$stress=1573.2\times 10^{-5}N/m^2$

We know that stress $=\frac{force}{artea }$

So $1573.2\times 10^{-5}=\frac{11100\times 1000}{area}$

$area=7.055\times 10^{8}m^2$

So $\frac{\pi }{4}d^2=7.055\times 10^{8}$

$d=2.998\times 10^4m$

Dimas [21]

A falling skydiver opens his parachute. A short time later, the weight of the skydiver-parachute system and the drag force exerted on the system are equal in magnitude. The following statements predicts the motion of the skydiver at this time

<u>The skydiver is moving downward with constant speed.</u>

Explanation:

Immediately on leaving the aircraft, the skydiver accelerates downwards due to the force of gravity. There is no air resistance acting in the upwards direction, and there is a resultant force acting downwards. The skydiver accelerates towards the ground.

The forces acting on a falling leaf are : gravity and air resistance.

The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward.

An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.

As the speed decreases, the amount of air resistance also decreases until once more the skydiver reaches a terminal velocity.

<u>A skydiver falling at a constant speed opens his parachute. When the skydiver is falling, the forces are unbalanced.</u>

A grasshopper jumps at a 65.0 degree angle at 5.42m/s. At what time does it reach its maximum height?

crimeas [40]

When the grasshoppers vertical velocity is exactly zero.
v = -g•t + v0.
v: vertical part of velocity. Is zero at maximum height.
g: 9.81
t: time you are looking for
v0: initial vertical velocity
Find the vertical part of the initial velocity, by using the angle at which the grasshopper jumps.

You are provided with three polarizers with filters making angles of (A) 90 ∘ , (B) 180 ∘ and (C) −45 ∘ with respect

irinina [24]

Answer:

Order of maximum transmission of the polarizer is A, C and B.

Solution:

As per the question:

For the first polarizer, the angle is quite insignificant:

(A) $90^{\circ}$ :

The light intensity after passing through the first polarizer is $I_{o}$ and this intensity does not depend on the angle of the polarizer.

Consider $90^{\circ}$ with the vertical, the intensity is given by:

$I = I_{o}cos^{2}90^{\circ}$

$I = I_{o}cos(2(45^{\circ})) = I_{o}(\frac{1+cos90^{\circ})}{2} = \frac{I_{o}}{2}$

(B) $180^{\circ}$ :

Suppose the second polarizer is $45^{\circ}$ with the vertical.

Now, intensity through the second polarizer:

$I' = Icos^{2}(\theta_{2} - \theta_{1}) = \frac{I_{o}}{2}cos^{2}(- 45 - 90)$

$I' = \frac{I_{o}}{2}cos^{2}135^{\circ} = \frac{I_{o}}{4}$

Now, if we consider the second polarizer to be $180^{\circ}$ ,

$I' = \frac{I_{o}}{2}cos^{2}180^{\circ} = \frac{I_{o}}{2}cos^{2}(180^{\circ} - 90^{\circ}) = 0$

(C) $- 45^{\circ}$ :

Now,

Intensity through the third polarizer, if it is $180^{\circ}$ with the vertical:

$I' = Icos^{2}(\theta_{2} - \theta_{1}) = \frac{I_{o}}{2}cos^{2}(180 - (- 45))$

$I' = \frac{I_{o}}{8}$
