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

As shown, a load of mass 10 kg is situated on a piston of diameter D1 = 140 mm. The piston rides on a reservoir of oil of depth
telo118 [61]

Answer:

165 mm

Explanation:

The mass on the piston will apply a pressure on the oil. This is:

p = f / A

The force is the weight of the mass

f = m * a

Where a in the acceleration of gravity

A is the area of the piston

A = π/4 * D1^2

Then:

p = m * a / (π/4 * D1^2)

The height the oil will raise is the heignt of a colum that would create that same pressure at its base:

p = f / A

The weight of the column is:

f = m * a

The mass of the column is its volume multiplied by its specific gravity

m  = V * S

The volume is the base are by the height

V = A * h

Then:

p = A * h * S * a / A

We cancel the areas:

p = h * S * a

Now we equate the pressures form the piston and the pil column:

m * a / (π/4 * D1^2) = h * S * a

We simplify the acceleration of gravity

m / (π/4 * D1^2) = h * S

Rearranging:

h = m / (π/4 * D1^2 * S)

Now, h is the heigth above the interface between the piston and the oil, this is at h1 = 42 mm. The total height is

h2 = h + h1

h2 = h1 + m / (π/4 * D1^2 * S)

h2 = 0.042 + 10 / (π/4 * 0.14^2 * 0.8) = 0.165 m = 165 mm

3. What is a caliber (relate it to rockets)
Kamila [148]

Answer:

In this context a caliber is defined as the diameter of the body tube, and it is used to support the general rule of thumb that for a rocket of typical aspect ratio to be stable the CG should be one caliber ahead of CP.
