Bowling balls can be made from a variety of substances and are required to have a circumference of roughly 27.2 inches. The cons

truction of the ball typically consists of a high density core surrounded by a lower density shell. Suppose a bowling ball floats in water with half of its volume submerged. If the specific gravity of the shell is 0.350 and the specific gravity of the core is 0.920, calculate the thickness of the shell.

Answer:

The bowlling shell's thickness is 2.7"

Explanation:

The geometry of the problem is based in the differences between the volumes in a small sphere and a spherical shell, both objects compose the total volume of the bowling ball.

The equivalence in the total ball height and the equivalent height in the fluid (in this case water displacement of half ball volume) is used for calculating the forces state that allows the static balance of the ball and the flotation force from the fluid (Archimedes principle).

In the image is showed the formulation.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:Q=248.011 W

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of Room T_{\infty }=18^{\circ}\approx 291 K

Area of Person A=1.7 m^2

Temperature of skin T=32^{\circ}\approx 305 K

Heat transfer coefficient h=5 W/m^2.k

Emissivity of the skin and clothes \epsilon =0.9

\Delta T=32-18=14^{\circ}

Total rate of heat transfer=heat Transfer due to Radiation +heat transfer through convection

Heat transfer due radiation Q_1=\epsilon \sigma A(T^4-T_{\infty }^4 )

where \sigma =stefan-boltzman\ constant

Q_1=0.9\times 5.687\times 10^{-8}\times 1.7\times (305^4-291^4)

Q_1=129.01 W

Heat Transfer due to convection is given by

Q_2=hA(\Delta T)

Q_2=5\times 1.7\times 14=119 W

Q=Q_1+Q_2

Q=129.01+119=248.011 W
