What is the force that opposes the movement of an object through water??

1 answer:

4 0

<span>The force that opposes the movement of an object through water is called drag. This is a type of frictional force. This force normally depends on the density and the viscosity of the fluid in question. The liquid which has more density and more viscosity or stickiness will produce a greater amount of drag force on an object than a fluid that is less dense and less viscous in nature. River water normally has less drag than that of sea water. </span>

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

$d=1.29*10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance of wall from CD $D=1.4$

Second bright fringe $y_2= 0.803 m$

Let

Strontium vapor laser has a wavelength \lambda= 431 nm=>431 *10^{-9}m

Generally the equation for Interference is mathematically given by

$y=frac{n*\lambda*D}{d}$

Where

$d=\frac{n*\lambda*D}{y}$

$d=\frac{2*431 *10^{-9}m*1.4}{0.803}$

$d=1.29*10^{-6}m$

Sloan [31]

Answer:

77.88 lbm/ft³

Explanation:

Given,

Specific gravity, SG = 1.25

Density of water, ρ = 62.30 lbm/ft³

density of the fluid =

= S.G x ρ_{water}

= 62.30 x 1.25

= 77.88 lbm/ft³

Density of the fluid is equal to 77.88 lbm/ft³
