An 80 kg man descends to the ground from an aeroplane using a parachute. If the drag coefficient of the parachute is 0.5 and the

density of air is 1.35 kg/m3, calculate the required diameter of the parachute so that the man descends with a velocity of 25 m/s.

Answer:

Explanation:2.17 m

Given

Mass of man=80 kg

drag coefficient (c_D)=0.5

Density of air=1.35 kg/m^3

Required descend velocity(v)=25 m/s

Let d be the diameter of Parachute

In this case Drag force will oppose weight of man so that net force is zero and there is a constant velocity of descend

W=F_L

F_L=\frac{c_DA\rho v^2}{2}

W=mg

80\times 9.81=\frac{0.5\times \frac{\pi d^2}{4}\times 1.35\times 25^2}{2}

784.8=165.691\times d^2

d=2.17 m

Problem 1: A catchment has the following Horton’s infiltration parameters: f0=280 mm/hr, fc=25 mm/hr and k = 2.5 hr-1 . For the
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Ponding will occur in 40mins

Explanation:

We say that the infiltration rate is the velocity or speed at which water enters into the soil. This often times is measured by the depth (in mm) of the water layer that can enter the soil in one hour. An infiltration rate of 15 mm/hour means that a water layer of 15 mm on the soil surface, will take one hour to infiltrate.

Consider checking attachment for the step by step solution.

To determine if a product or substance being used is hazardous, consult:__________.
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Option B: An MSDS

Explanation:

A dictionary is used to check up the meaning of general words and not for checking if a substance being used is hazardous. Option A is wrong.

MSDS means "Material Safety Data Sheet" and it contains documents with information that relates to occupational health & safety for checking various substances and products. Thus, option B is correct.

SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineering and their standards pertain to mainly Automobiles. Thus option C is wrong.

EPA guidelines are mainly for checking facility and environmental health and safety compliance. Thus, option D is wrong.

A 3-oz serving of roasted, skinless chicken breast contains 140 Cal, 27 g of protein, 3 g of fat, 13 mg of calcium, and 64 mg of
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • a) Given C [ cal pro fat calc sod]

              [140 27 3  13  64]

  • P = [cal pro fat calc sod]

     [180 4 11 24 662]

  • B = [cal pro fat calc sod]

      [50  5    1  82   20]

To find C+2P+3B = [140 27 3  13  64] + 2[180 4 11 24 662] + 3[50  5    1  82   20]

= [650  54  28  307  1448]

The entries represent skinless chicken breast , One-half cup of potato salad and One broccoli spear.
