A horizontal water jet at 70˚F issues from a circular orifice in a large tank. The jet strikes a vertical plate that is normal t

o the axis of the jet. A force of 500 lbf is needed to hold the plate in place against the action of the jet. If the pressure in the tank is 90 psig at point A, what is the diameter D of the jet just downstream of the orifice?

In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Bernoulli's equation and the propulsive force.

Bernoulli's equation is defined by,

\frac{P_A}{\rho g}+\frac{V_A^2}{2g} +z_a = \frac{P_B}{\rho g}+\frac{V_B^2}{2g} +z_B

Where

P = Pressure

v = velocity

z= Heigth

\rho =Density

g = Gravitational Force

We must look for the speed at the exit. Our values are given by,

V_A = 0

P_A = 90Psi=620528Pa

T = 70\°F = 21.11\°C

\rho = 998kg/m^3

Since water is exposed to atmosphere outlet at the end, then P_B = 0

Replacing we have

\frac{P_A}{\rho g}+\frac{V_A^2}{2g} +z_a = \frac{P_B}{\rho g}+\frac{V_B^2}{2g} +z_B

\frac{620528}{998(9.8)}+\frac{0^2}{2(9.8)} +0 = \frac{0}{998(9.81)}+\frac{V_B^2}{2(9.81)} +0

63.4460 = \frac{V_B^2}{2(9.81)}

V_B = \sqrt{2(63.4460)(9.81)}

V_B = 35.28m/s

According to the statement, the required force is given by 500Lbf that is 2224.11N

Based on the propulsive force we have to

F_x = \rho A(V_C+V_B)

Replacing our values,

2224.11 = (998)(\frac{\pi}{4}d^2)(0-35.28^2)

d^2=\frac{4(2224.11)(0-35.28^2)}{(998)\pi}

d^2 = 3531.77

d = 59.42m

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend
Viefleur [7K]

a) we can answer the first part of this by recognizing the player rises 0.76m, reaches the apex of motion, and then falls back to the ground we can ask how

long it takes to fall 0.13 m from rest: dist = 1/2 gt^2 or t=sqrt[2d/g] t=0.175

s this is the time to fall from the top; it would take the same time to travel

upward the final 0.13 m, so the total time spent in the upper 0.15 m is 2x0.175

= 0.35s

b) there are a couple of ways of finding thetime it takes to travel the bottom 0.13m first way: we can use d=1/2gt^2 twice

to solve this problem the time it takes to fall the final 0.13 m is: time it

takes to fall 0.76 m - time it takes to fall 0.63 m t = sqrt[2d/g] = 0.399 s to

fall 0.76 m, and this equation yields it takes 0.359 s to fall 0.63 m, so it

takes 0.04 s to fall the final 0.13 m. The total time spent in the lower 0.13 m

is then twice this, or 0.08s

n the figure, a uniform ladder 12 meters long rests against a vertical frictionless wall. The ladder weighs 400 N and makes an a
Leto [7]

Since the ladder is standing, we know that the coefficient of friction is at least something. This [gotta be at least this] friction coefficient can be calculated. As the man begins to climb the ladder, the friction can even be less than the free-standing friction coefficient. However, as the man climbs the ladder, more and more friction is required. Since he eventually slips, we know that friction is less than what's required at the top of the ladder.

 

The only "answer" to this problem is putting lower and upper bounds on the coefficient. For the lower one, find how much friction the ladder needs to stand by itself. For the most that friction could be, find what friction is when the man reaches the top of the ladder.

Ff = uN1

Fx = 0 = Ff + N2

Fy = 0 = N1 – 400 – 864

N1 = 1264 N

Torque balance

T = 0 = N2(12)sin(60) – 400(6)cos(60) – 864(7.8)cos(60)

N2 = 439 N

Ff = 439= u N1

U = 440 / 1264 = 0.3481
