You own a yacht which is 14.5 meters long. It is motoring down a canal at 10.6 m/s. Its bow (the front of the boat) is just abou

t to begin passing underneath a bridge that is 30.0 m across. How much time is required until its stern (the end of the boat) is no longer under the bridge?

Answer:

4.198 seconds

Explanation:

The total length of the yacht is 30m and the width of the bridge is 14.5m.

The speed of the yacht is 10.6m/s.

We can assume the current of the canal has a speed of 0m/s.

To calculate the answer we will break it into two parts

1) The time it takes for the bow to travel from the start of the bridge to the end

<em>Formula Speed = Distance / Time</em>

Speed = 10.6m/s

Distance = 30m

Time = T1

T1 = 2.8301s

2) The time it takes for the stern to cross the end of the bridge after the bow

<em />

<em>Formula Speed = Distance / Time</em>

<em />

Speed = 10.6m/s

Distance = 14.5m

Time = T2

T2 = 1.3679s

3) The Total Time is

Total = T1 + T2

Total = 4.198s

tangare [24]

Answer:

T_b=107.3784\ ^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given:

  • thickness of the base of the kettle, dx=0.52\ cm=5.2\times 10^{-3}\ m
  • radius of the base of the kettle, r=0.12\ m
  • temperature of the top surface of the kettle base, T_t=100^{\circ}C
  • rate of heat transfer through the kettle to boil water, \dot Q=0.409\ kg.min^{-1}
  • We have the latent heat vaporization of water, L=2260\times 10^3\ J.kg^{-1}
  • and thermal conductivity of aluminium, k=240\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}

<u>So, the heat rate:</u>

\dot Q=\frac{0.409\times 2260000}{60}

\dot Q=15405.67\ W

<u>From the Fourier's law of conduction we have:</u>

\dot Q=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}

\dot Q=k\times \pi.r^2\times \frac{T_b-T_t}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}

where:

A= area of the surface through which conduction occurs

T_b= temperature of the bottom surface

15405.67=240\times \pi\times 0.12^2\times \frac{T_b-100}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}

T_b=107.3784\ ^{\circ}C is the temperature of the bottom of the base surface of the kettle.
