We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top

of the tree exerts a horizontal force, and thus a torque that can topple the tree if there is no opposing torque. Suppose a tree's canopy presents an area of 9.0 m^2 to the wind centered at a height of 7.0 m above the ground. (These are reasonable values for forest trees.)
If the wind blows at 6.5 m/s, what is the magnitude of the drag force of the wind on the canopy? Assume a drag coefficient of 0.50 and the density of air of 1.2 kg/m^3

What torque does this force exert on the tree, measured about the point where the trunk meets the ground?

We need to consider for this exercise the concept Drag Force and Torque. The equation of Drag force is

F_D = c_D A \frac{\rho V^2}{2}

Where,

F_D = Drag Force

c_D = Drag coefficient

A = Area

\rho= Density

V = Velocity

Our values are given by,

c_D = 0.5 (That is proper of a cone-shape)

A = 9m^2

\rho = 1.2Kg/m^3

V = 6.5m/s

Part A ) Replacing our values,

F_D = 0.5*9*\frac{1.2*6.5^2}{2}

F_D = 114.075N

Part B ) To find the torque we apply the equation as follow,

\tau = F*d

\tau = (114.075N)(7)

\tau = 798.525N.m

Two pipes move the same amount of ideal fluid in the same amount of time. One pipe has a 2 in. diameter; the other has a 3 in. d
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

a) 3-in. pipe

Explanation:

Given that

Fluid flow is in same amount in the same time it means that volume flow rate is same for the pipes

Volume flow rate

Q = A V

A=Area ,V=Velocity

A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

If diameter d is more then the velocity will be less for same volume flow rate .We also Know that if pressure is more then the velocity will be less.

The second pipe 3 in diameter having more diameter then the velocity will be less but the pressure will be more.

That is why the 3 in diameter is having more pressure than 2 in diameter pipe.

Therefore the answer will be a.

a) 3-in diameter  pipe
