If the airman had a mass of 80 kg, find the magnitude of the air drag acting on him when he reached terminal velocity of 54 m/s
1 answer:
The magnitude of the air drag is 784 N
Explanation:
An object falling down reaches the terminal velocity when the magnitude of the air drag acting on it becomes equal to the weight of the object. Mathematically, this condition can be written as:
where
is the magnitude of the air drag
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
In this problem, we have
m = 80 kg is the mass of the airman
is the acceleration of gravity
Substituting into the formula, we find:

The concepts necessary to solve this problem are framed in the expression of string vibration frequency as well as the expression of the number of beats per second conditioned at two frequencies.
Mathematically, the frequency of the vibration of a string can be expressed as
Where,
L = Vibrating length string
T = Tension in the string
Linear mass density
At the same time we have the expression for the number of beats described as
Where
= First frequency
= Second frequency
From the previously given data we can directly observe that the frequency is directly proportional to the root of the mechanical Tension:
If we analyze carefully we can realize that when there is an increase in the frequency ratio on the tight string it increases. Therefore, the beats will be constituted under two waves; one from the first string and the second as a residue of the tight wave, as well
Replacing for n and 202Hz for
The frequency of the tightened is 205Hz
