A 40 mph wind is blowing past your house and speeds up as it flows up and over the roof. If the elevation effects are negligible

, determine (a) the pressure at the point on the roof where the speed is 60 mph if the pressure in the free stream blowing toward your house is 14.7 psi. Would this effect tend to push the roof down against the house, or would it tend to lift the roof

The pressure at the point on the roof where the speed is 60mph is 14.66 psi

<u>Explanation:</u>

The question follows Bernoulli's equation

P1 + 1/2 ρ V1² = P2 + 1/2 ρ V2²

V1 = 40 X 5280 / 3600 = 58.7 ft/s

V2 = 60 X 5280 / 3600 = 88 ft/s

P2 = P1 + 1/2 ( 0.00238 ) [(58.7)² - (88)²]

P2 - P1 = -5.12lb/ft²

The negative pressure created tends to lift the roof.

We know,

P1 = 14.7 psi = 2116.8 lb/ft²

P2 = 2116.8 - 5.12 lb/ft²

P2 = 2111.68 lb/ft²

P2 = 14.66 psi

Therefore, the pressure at the point on the roof where the speed is 60mph is 14.66 psi

How much work, in Newtons, is required to lift a 20.4-kg (45lb) plate from the ground to a stand that is 1.50 meters up?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work, U, is equal to the force times the distance:

U = F · r

Force needed to lift the weight, is equal to the weight: F = W = m · g

so:

U = m · g · r

   = 20.4kg · 9.81 \frac{N}{kg} · 1.50m

   = 35.316 \frac{N}{m}

   = 35.316 W

To compute the energy used by a motor, multiply the power that it draws by the time of operation. Con- sider a motor that draws
ehidna [41]

Answer:

E=52000Hp.h

E=38724920Wh

E=1.028x10^11 ftlb

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must multiply the engine power by the time factor expressed in h / year, to find this value you must perform the conventional unit conversion procedure.

Finally, when you have the result Hp h / year you convert it to Ftlb and Wh

E=(12.5hp)(\frac{16h}{day} )(\frac{5 days}{week} )(\frac{52week}{year} )\\

E=52000Hp.h

E=52000Hp.h(\frac{744.71Wh}{Hp.h} )\\

E=38724920Wh

E=52000Hph(\frac{1977378.4  ft lb}{1Hph}

E=1.028x10^11 ftlb

Water at 200C flows through a pipe of 10 mm diameter pipe at 1 m/s. Is the flow Turbulent ? a. Yes b. No
Degger [83]

Answer:

Yes, the flow is turbulent.

Explanation:

Reynolds number gives the nature of flow. If he Reynolds number is less than 2000 then the flow is laminar else turbulent.

Given:

Diameter of pipe is 10mm.

Velocity of the pipe is 1m/s.

Temperature of water is 200°C.

The kinematic viscosity at temperature 200°C is 1.557\times10^{-7}m2/s.

Calculation:

Step1

Expression for Reynolds number is given as follows:

Re=\frac{vd}{\nu}

Here, v is velocity, \nu is kinematic viscosity, d is diameter and Re is Reynolds number.

Substitute the values in the above equation as follows:

Re=\frac{vd}{\nu}

Re=\frac{1\times(10mm)(\frac{1m}{1000mm})}{1.557\times10^{-7}}

Re=64226.07579

Thus, the Reynolds number is 64226.07579. This is greater than 2000.

Hence, the given flow is turbulent flow.
