Explain how fluids exert pressure

1 answer:

4 0

In a fluid, all the forces exerted by the individual particles combine to make up the pressure exerted by the fluid
Due to fundamental nature of fluids, a fluid cannot remain at rest under the presence of shear stress. However, fluids can exert pressure normal to any contacting surface. If a point in the fluid is thought of as a small cube, then it follows from the principles of equilibrium that the pressure on every side of this unit of fluid must be equal. but if this were not a case, the fluid would move in the directions of the resulting force, So the pressure on a fluid at rest is isotropic.

Estimate the moment of inertia of a bicycle wheel 66 cm in diameter. The rim and tire have a combined mass of 1.2 Kg

Fed [463]

<span>For a point mass the moment of inertia is just the mass times the square of perpendicular distance to the rotation axis, I = mr^2. That point mass relationship becomes the basis for all other moments of inertia since any object can be built up from a collection of point masses. So the I = (1.2 kg)(0.66m/2)^2 = 0.1307 kg m2</span>

Consider two children sitting on a merry-go-round, with one closer to the outer edge and one closer to the center. show answer N

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

They both have the same angular speed.

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for angular speed is:

$w=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

where $w$ is angular speed, $2\pi$ is a constant, and $T$ is the period (the time it takes the marry-go-round to complete a lap).

What we can see from the formula is that, since the $2\pi$ does not change its value, the angular speed depends only on the period T.

In this case for both the children closer to the outher edge and for the children closer to the center, the time to complete a lap is the same, because the time does not depend on where they are sitting in the marry go round. This means that the period for both is the same.

Thus, since the period for both is the same, the angular speed given by

$w=\frac{2\pi}{T}$ will also be the same
