Answer:

R=64.32\ lb\\\\\theta=84.3\°

Explanation:

Given:

Ratio of lift force to drag force is, \frac{L}{D}=10

Lift force on a short section is, L=64\ lb

Magnitude of resultant, R= ?

The angle of 'R' with the horizontal is, \theta=?

We know that, lift force and drag are at right angles to each other. So, the resultant can be computed using Pythagoras theorem.

For calculating 'R', we first compute drag force 'D'.

As per question:

\frac{L}{D}=10\\\\D=\frac{L}{10}=\frac{64\ lb}{10}=6.4\ lb

Now, the magnitude of resultant 'R' is given as:

R=\sqrt{L^2+D^2}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'R'. This gives,

R=\sqrt{64^2+6.4^2}\\\\R=\sqrt{4096+40.96}\\\\R=\sqrt{4136.96}=64.32\ lb

Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force 'R' is 64.32 lb.

Now, the angle \theta is given as the arctan of the ratio of the lift and drag force.

Therefore,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(L/D)\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(10)\\\\\theta=84.3\°

Therefore, the angle made with the horizontal is 84.3°.

When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will eventually ____________then stop.
Blizzard [7]

When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will eventually distribute heat uniformly throughout the fluid.  When all of the fluid is at the same temperature, convection currents will stop.

The spin cycle of a clothes washer extracts the water in clothing by greatly increasing the water's apparent weight so that it i
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The apparent weight of a 1.1 g drop of water is 4.24084 N.

<h3>What is Apparent Weight?</h3>
  • According to physics, an object's perceived weight is a characteristic that describes how heavy it is. When the force of gravity acting on an object is not counterbalanced by a force of equal but opposite normality, the apparent weight of the object will differ from the actual weight of the thing.
  • By definition, an object's weight is equal to the strength of the gravitational force pulling on it. It follows that even a "weightless" astronaut in low Earth orbit, with an apparent weight of zero, has almost the same weight that he would have if he were standing on the ground; this is because the gravitational pull of low Earth orbit and the ground are nearly equal.

Solution:

N = Speed of rotation = 1250 rpm

D = Diameter = 45 cm

r = Radius = 22.5 cm

M = Mass of drop = 1.1 g

Angular speed of the water = \omega  = \frac{2\pi N}{60}

\omega  = \frac{2\pi \times 1250}{60}

\omega  = 130.89 rad/s

Apparent weight is given by

W _a = M\omega^{2}R

W_a = 1.1 \times 10^-^3\times (130.89)^2\times 0.225

W_a = 4.24084 N

Question:

The spin cycle of a clothes washer extracts the water in clothing by greatly increasing the water's apparent weight so that it is efficiently squeezed through the clothes and out the holes in the drum. In a top loader's spin cycle, the 45-cm-diameter drum spins at 1250 rpm around a vertical axis. What is the apparent weight of a 1.1 g drop of water?
