the top of the wings is 66.0 m/s, while the air speed beneath the wings is 40.0 m/s. What is the weight of the plane?(The density of air is 1.29 kg/m³)

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Surface area A= 17m²

The speed at the top v" = 66m/s

Speed beneath is v' =40 m/s

The density of air p =1.29kg/m³

Weight of plane?

Assuming that,

the height difference between the top and bottom of the wind is negligible and we can ignore any change in gravitational potential energy of the fluid.

Using Bernoulli equation

P'+ ½pv'²+ pgh' = P'' + ½pv''² + pgh''

Where

P' is pressure at the bottom in N/m²

P" is pressure at the top in N/m²

v' is velocity at the bottom in m/s

v" is velocity at the top in m/s

Then, Bernoulli equation becomes

P'+ ½pv'² = P'' + ½pv''²

Rearranging

P' — P'' = ½pv"² —½pv'²

P'—P" = ½p ( v"² —v'²)

P'—P" = ½ × 1.29 × (66²-40²)

P'—P" = 1777.62 N/m²

Lift force can be found from

Pressure = force/Area

Force = ∆P ×A

Force = (P' —P")×A

Since we already have (P'—P")

Then, F=W = (P' —P")×A

W = 1777.62 × 17

W = 30,219.54 N

The weight of the plane is 30.22 KN

Answer:

Weight of plane ; W = 30219.54 N

Explanation:

For us to determine the lift force of the system, let's multiply the pressure difference with the effective wing surface area given that the area is obtained by Bernoulli equation. Thus,

P_b + (1/2)ρ(v_b)² + ρg(y_b) = P_t + (1/2)ρ(v_t)² + ρg(y_t)

Now, since the flight is level, the height is constant.

Thus, (y_b) = (y_t)

So, we now have;

P_b + (1/2)ρ(v_b)² = P_t + (1/2)ρ(v_t)²

Rearranging, we have ;

P_b - P_t = (1/2)ρ(v_t)² - (1/2)ρ(v_b)²

P_b - P_t = (1/2)ρ[(v_t)² - (v_b)²]

Now, weight is given by the formula;

W = (P_b - P_t) •A

Thus,

W = (1/2)ρ[(v_t)² - (v_b)²] •A

From the question,

Density; ρ = 1.29 kg/m³

Velocity over top of wings; v_t = 66 m/s

Velocity beneath the wings; v_b = 40 m/s

Surface Area; A = 17 m²

Thus;

W = (1/2)1.29[(66)² - (40)²] •17

W = (1/2)•1.29•17[2756]

W = 30219.54 N

Answer:

The break even cost is $0.0063825

Explanation:

Break-even cost is the amount of money, or change in value, which equates to the amount at which an asset must be sold to equal the cost of acquiring it. For easier understanding it can be thought the amount of money for which a product or service must be sold to cover the costs of manufacturing or providing it.

Wattage = W

Cost per kilo watt hour = C

Number of hours per year = H

Price per bulb/CFL = P

Discount rate = 11%

Life of bulb = 2 years

Price of bulb = $0.39

Wattage consumption of bulb per hours = 60

Life of CFL = 24 years

Price of CFL = $3.10

Wattage consumption of CFL per hour = 15

Calculate the Equated Annual Cost (EAC) of bulb

EAC = {- P - (W/1000 x H x C) x (PVIFA 11%, 2years)}/ (PVIFA 11%, 2years)

PVIFA 11%, 2years = Annuity PV Factor = [1 – {(1 + r)^(-n)}]/r, where r is the rate per period and n is the number per periods

PVIFA 11%, 2 years = [1 – {(1 + 0.11)^(-2)}]/0.11 = 1.712523 (for 2 years)

PVIFA 11%, 24 years = [1 – {(1 + 0.11)^(-24)}]/0.11 = 8.348136 (for 2 years)

<u>Calculate the EAC of bulb</u>

EAC = {- P - (W/1000 x H x C) x (PVIFA 11%, 2 years)}/ (PVIFA 11%, 2 years)

EAC = {- 0.39 - (60/1000 x H x C) x (1.712523)}/ (1.712523)

EAC = {-0.39 – (51.37570 x C)}/ 1.712523, <em>consider this equation 1</em>

<u>Calculate the EAC of CFL</u>

EAC = {- P - (W/1000 x H x C) x (PVIFA 11%, 24 years)}/ (PVIFA 11%, 24 years)

EAC = {- 3.10 - (15/1000 x 500 x C) x (8.348136)}/ (8.348136)

EAC = {-3.10 – (62.61102 x C)}/8.348137, <em>consider this equation 2</em>

<u>Equate 1 and 2 to find the amount of C</u>

{-0.39 – (51.37570 x C)}/ 1.712523 = {-3.10 – (62.61102 x C)}/8.348137

{-0.39 – (51.37570 x C) x 8.348137} = {-3.10 – (62.61102 x C) x 1.712523}

C = $0.0063825

Thus, the break- even cost per kilo – watt is $0.0063825

5.<br>why does the pointer rotate?​
morpeh [17]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

From the experiment set up in the diagram, the pointer is resting on the drinking straw while the rod is resting on the drinking straw.

When the rod is being heated through the bursen burner, there will be linear expansion in the rod. As the rod increases its length, this causes the drinking straw to roll and thereby causing the pointer to rotate.

The pointer therefore rotates because of the thermer expansion that happen in the rod due to the heat from the bursen burner.
