Given:

diameter of sphere, d = 6 inches

radius of sphere, r = \frac{d}{2} = 3 inches

density,  \rho} = 493 lbm/ ft^{3}

S.G = 1.0027

g = 9.8 m/ m^{2} = 386.22 inch/ s^{2}

Solution:

Using the formula for terminal velocity,

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2V\rho  g}{A \rho C_{d}}}              (1)

(Since, m = V\times \rho)

where,

V = volume of sphere

C_{d} = drag coefficient

Now,

Surface area of sphere, A = 4\pi r^{2}

Volume of sphere, V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Using the above formulae in eqn (1):

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times \frac{4}{3} \pir^{3}\rho  g}{4\pi r^{2} \rho C_{d}}}

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2gr}{3C_{d}}}  

v_{T} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 386.22\times 3}{3C_{d}}}

Therefore, terminal velcity is given by:

v_{T} = \frac{27.79}{\sqrt{C_d}} inch/sec

What is the first test you should do when checking the charging system?
yan [13]

Answer:

Connect the test light in series with the negative post, and start pulling feed wires. The first to check is the heavy charging wire from the alternator. A bad or leaky diode in an alternator is a very common source of overnight battery drain. Connect wires one at a time to see what lead is drawing current.

What is the difference Plastic vs elastic deformation.
Reika [66]

Answer:

What is the difference Plastic vs elastic deformation

Explanation:

The elastic deformation occurs when a low stress is apply over a metal or metal structure, in this process, the stress' deformation is temporary and it's recover after the stress is removed. In other words, this DOES NOT affects the atoms separation.

The plastic deformation occurs when the stress apply over the metal or metal structure is sufficient to deform the atomic structure making the atoms split, this is a crystal separation on a limited amount of atoms' bonds.
