Answer:

(a) P = 121kW (b) P = 823kW

Explanation:

Given

U = 5m/s, D = 1.5m, L = 22m, ρ = 998kg/m³

(a) Parallel, L/D = 15,

Re = 998×5×22/0.001 = 1.1×10⁸,

Area = π ×D²/4 = π × 1.5²/4 = 1.77m²

From Table estimate Cd,frontal = 1.1

Fd = 1/2 × Cd,frontal × ρ × U² × Area

Fd = 1/2 × 1.1 × 998 × 5² × 1.77 = 24289N

P = F×U = 24289 × 5 = 121445W ≈ 121kW

(b) Normal, Re = 998×5×1.5/0.001 = 7.5×10⁶,

Area = DL = 1.5 × 22 = 33m²

From Table estimate Cd,frontal = 0.4

Fd = 1/2 × Cd,frontal × ρ × U² × Area

Fd = 1/2 × 0.4 × 998 × 5² × 33 = 164670N

P = F×U = 164670 × 5 = 121445W ≈ 823kW

Fd is the drag force exerted by the fluid (water) on the submerged body. This force tends to oppose the motion of the submerged cylinder through it. This force increases with area and also with velocity. So for large area the force of resistance of the water would be large and for a small area it will also be small. The same is true for velocity.

In order for the ship to tow this cylinder successfully, it must provide enough power to overcome the resisting force of the water (the drag force as the name implies.

This force is given by the relation,

Fd = 1/2 × Cd,frontal × ρ × U² × Area

Where Fd = Drag force

Cd , frontal = coefficient of drag

ρ = density of fluid (water,)

U = velocity other body in the fluid

A = surface area of the object made available to the fluid in the direction of travel.

Power = F × U

What is the smallest radius of an unbanked (flat) track around which a bicyclist can travel if her speed is 22 km/h and the coef
Aleks [24]
First, let's put 22 km/h in m/s:

22 \frac{km}{h} \times  \frac{1000m}{1km}  \times  \frac{1h}{3600s}=6.11 \frac{m}{s}

Now the radial force required to keep an object of mass m, moving in circular motion around a radius R, is given by

F_{rad}=m \frac{v^2}{R}

The force of friction is given by the normal force (here, just the weight, mg) times the static coefficient of friction:

F_{fric}= mg \mu_{s}

Notice we don't use the kinetic coefficient even though the bike is moving.  This is because when the tires meet the road they are momentarily stationary with the road surface.  Otherwise the bike is skidding.

Now set these equal, since friction is the only thing providing the ability to accelerate (turn) without skidding off the road in a line tangent to the curve:

m\frac{v^2}{R} = mg \mu_{s} \\ \\ \frac{v^2}{R} = g \mu_{s} \\ \\R= \frac{v^2}{g \mu_{s}} \\ \\ R= \frac{6.11}{9.8 \times 0.37}=1.685m

How much pure gold (24/24) is to be added to 15.0 grams of 14 K gold (14/24) to obtain 18 K gold (18/24)?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

10 gram gold is added

Explanation:

given data

pure gold = (24/24)

added = 15 grams

gold = 14 K  ( 14/24)

gold = 18 K ( 18/24)

to find out

How much pure gold added

solution

we know here that when we add gold to get 20 K gold or 22K

so we added here 15 gram 14 K

we consider here m is pure gold added

so by composition here

we get

15 (14K)  + m ( 24 K) = ( 15 + m ) (18)    ...................1

solve it and find m

m = 10

so 10 gram gold is added

A car moving along a straight road at 30m/s slows uniformly to a speed of 10m/s in a time of 5s. determine the
nignag [31]

Answer:

A=ACCELERATION = -4 m/s^2

B=DISTANCE= 72 m

Explanation:

Solving for the acceleration of the car

A= (10 m/s-30 m/s) / 5s

A= -20 m/s / 5s

A= -4 m/s^2

Solving for the distance traveled after the third second

D= v1 * t + 1/2at^2

D= 30 m/s * 3 s + -2m/s^2 * (3s)^2

D= 90 m + - 18 m

D = 72 m
