Answer:

The force required to hold the contraction in place is 665.91 N ↑

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of oil, γ = 0.75

Volumetric flow rate, V 3.2 Ft³/s = 0.0906 m³/s

\gamma =\frac{\rho_o}{\rho_w}

where;

\rho_o is the density of oil

\rho_w is the density of water = 1000 kg/m³

∴density of oil (\rho_o) = γ × density of water(\rho_w)

                               = 0.75 × 1000 kg/m³

                                = 750kg/m³

Buoyant Force = ρVg

                         = 750 × 0.0906 × 9.8

                         = 665.91 N ↑

This force acts upward or opposite gravitational force.

Therefore, the force required to hold the contraction in place is 665.91 N ↑

Identify a true statement about flow separation. Multiple Choice A. Flow separation is caused due to high temperature gradient i
Helga [31]

Answer:

D. Flow separation is caused due to adverse pressure gradient in the flowing fluid.

Explanation:

Flow separation  :    

  When adverse pressure gradient become dominate then phenomenon of flow separation occurs.In the other words when boundary layer is form against the adverse pressure then  phenomenon of flow separation occurs.The adverse pressure means a opposing which act in the opposite to the direction of fluid flow.Due to flow separation eddy formation occurs and these eddy leads to increases the losses in the fluid flow.Due to flow separation fluid leaves the solid surface and form eddies.

So the answer is D.

Upward pull of 850 N on a 81.6 kg bale of hay. What is the magnitude of the bales acceleration?
Helen [10]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity).

When I calculate the weight of the 81.6 kg, the number I use for gravity
is 9.807 m/s².  That gives a weight of 800.25 N, so I think that's where the
question got the crazy number of 81.6 kg ... whoever wrote the problem
wants the hay to weigh 800 N, and that's what I'll use for the weight.

The forces on the bale of hay are gravity: 800N downward, and the
guy on the truck with the pitchfork pulling upward on it with 850 N. 
The net force on the bale is (850 - 800) = 50 N upward.

Use Newton's second law of motion:  (Net force) = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 'mass' :     
      
                        Acceleration = (net force)/(mass)

On the hay wagon,             

                        Acceleration = (50 N upward) / (81.6 kg) = <em>0.613 m/s² upward</em>
