A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination

The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.

Water at 20°C flows by gravity through a smooth pipe from one reservoir to a lower one. The elevation difference is 60 m. The pi
Serga [27]

Answer:

Flow Rate = 80 m^3 /hours  (Rounded to the nearest whole number)

Explanation:

Given

  • Hf = head loss
  • f = friction factor
  • L = Length of the pipe = 360 m
  • V = Flow velocity, m/s
  • D = Pipe diameter = 0.12 m
  • g = Gravitational acceleration, m/s^2
  • Re = Reynolds's Number
  • rho = Density =998 kg/m^3
  • μ = Viscosity = 0.001 kg/m-s
  • Z = Elevation Difference = 60 m

Calculations

Moody friction loss in the pipe = Hf = (f*L*V^2)/(2*D*g)

The energy equation for this system will be,

Hp = Z + Hf

The other three equations to solve the above equations are:

Re = (rho*V*D)/ μ

Flow Rate, Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Power = 15000 W = rho*g*Q*Hp

1/f^0.5 = 2*log ((Re*f^0.5)/2.51)

We can iterate the 5 equations to find f and solve them to find the values of:

Re = 235000

f = 0.015

V = 1.97 m/s

And use them to find the flow rate,

Q = V*(pi/4)*D^2

Q = (1.97)*(pi/4)*(0.12)^2 = 0.022 m^3/s = 80 m^3 /hours

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

1.526 m

Explanation:

The motion sensor sends sound waves in air which travels at a speed of 343 m per second at 20 degree. If d be the distance of the reflecting object

total distance travelled = 2d

Time taken t = 8.9 x 10⁻³ s

velocity v  = 2d / t

343 = 2 d / (8.9 x 10⁻³)

d = 1.526 m
