<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. 3.43 kPa

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = Force / Area

Force is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. 

 Thus;  Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Substituting;

               Force = (350 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

               Force = 3430 N

Then, using the first equation;

                Pressure = 3430 N / 1m² or Pa

<h3>                             <u>= 3.43 kPa</u></h3>

A thin plate 6 ft long and 3 ft wide is submerged and held stationary in a stream of water (T = 60°F) that has a velocity of 17
VashaNatasha [74]

A) In the case of the Boundary Thickness Layer we use the given formula,

\delta = \frac{4.91x}{\sqrt{Re}}

We know as well that,

Re = Número de Reynolds = \frac{U*x}{\upsilon}

Where,

U = velocity

\upsilon = kinematic viscosity

For water, kinematic viscosity, \upsilon = 1.21*10^{-5} ft^2 /s

So, 500,000 = \frac{ 17x}{(1.21*10^{-5})}

x = 0.355 ft

d = \frac{4.91*0.355}{\sqrt {500000}}

d = 0.002465 ft = 0.029in

B) For flat plate boundary layer. Given the Critical Reynolds Number.= 5*10^5 we know that is equal to Re above.

Thus, x = 0.355 ft

C. Wall shear stress,

\tau = \mu*\sqrt{ U^3 / (2*\nu*x) }

For water, dynamic viscosity, \nu = 2.344*10^-5 lbf-s/ft^2

\tau = 2.344*10^-5 \sqrt {17^3 / (2*1.21*10^{-5}*0.355)}

\tau = 0.5605 lbf/ft^2

Juan rides his horse with a constant<br> speed of 18 km/h. How far can he travel<br> in 1/2 hour?
Brut [27]

Answer:

He traveled 9km

Explanation:

To do this problem you need to use the equation which is Speed= distance/time and this problem gives you the speed which is 18 km/h and it gives you the time 1/2 hour so you write the equation 18= d/ 1/2 which his distance is 9km

The magnetic field at point P due to a 2.0-A current flowing in a long, straight, thin wire is 8.0 μT. How far is point P from t
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

r = 0.05 m = 5 cm

Explanation:

Applying ampere's law to the wire, we get:

B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}\\\\r =  \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi B}

where,

r = distance of point P from wire = ?

μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ N/A²

I = current = 2 A

B = Magnetic Field = 8 μT = 8 x 10⁻⁶ T

Therefore,

r = \frac{(4\pi\ x\ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2)(2\ A)}{2\pi(8\ x\ 10^{-6}\ T)}\\\\

<u>r = 0.05 m = 5 cm</u>
