Answer:
μ = 0.692
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.
Attached is an image with the respective forces:
A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.
Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.
The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.
The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.

Answer:
The total number of oscillations made by the wave during the time of travel is 1.4 Oscillations. Strictly speaking, the number of complete oscillations is 1.
Explanation:
The required quantity is the number of complete oscillations made by the traveling wave. The amplitude time and frequency are not needed to calculate the number of oscillations as it is the ratio of the distance traveled to the wavelength( minimum distance that must be traveled to complete one oscillation) of the wave. So the total number of oscillations is 1.4 while the number of complete oscillations is 1 (strictly speaking). The detailed solution to this question can be found in the attachment below. Thank you!
The friction factor and head loss when velocity is 1m/s is 0.289 and 1.80 × 10^8 respectively. Also, the friction factor and head loss when velocity is 3m/s is 0.096 and 5.3 × 10^8 respectively.
<h3>How to determine the friction factor</h3>Using the formula
μ = viscosity = 0. 06 Pas
d = diameter = 120mm = 0. 12m
V = velocity = 1m/s and 3m/s
ρ = density = 0.9
a. Velocity = 1m/s
friction factor = 0. 52 ×
friction factor = 0. 52 ×
friction factor = 0. 52 × 0. 55
friction factor
b. When V = 3mls
Friction factor = 0. 52 ×
Friction factor = 0. 52 ×
Friction factor = 0. 52 × 0. 185
Friction factor
Loss When V = 1m/s
Head loss/ length = friction factor × 1/ 2g × velocity^2/ diameter
Head loss = 0. 289 × ×

Head loss = 1. 80 × 10^8
Head loss When V = 3m/s
Head loss = ×

Head loss = 5. 3× 10^8
Thus, the friction factor and head loss when velocity is 1m/s is 0.289 and 1.80 ×10^8 respectively also, the friction factor and head loss when velocity is 3m/s is 0.096 and 5.3 ×10^8 respectively.
