A smooth sphere with a diameter of 6 inches and a density of 493 lbm/ft^3 falls at terminal speed through sea water (S.G.=1.0027
Pachacha [2.7K]

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

True or False? Early engineers used a trial-and­error approach, rather than mathematical and scientific principles when solving
yarga [219]

Answer:

<h2>True Most Especially in the field of Automotive Engineering</h2>

Explanation:

Normally, before the introduction of vehicle diagnostics when a vehicle, mostly automobile/car break down, one could be the vehicle mechanic would only suspect one or two related faults based on the present working condition of the car, the mechanic would perform some trial and error before he could fix the car.

But in recent times, the introduction of vehicle diagnostics devices and software has changed the order as vehicles can be connected to a computer that will scan and tell what   the problem is before a possible fix.

A 2-mm-diameter electrical wire is insulated by a 2-mm-thick rubberized sheath (k = 0.13 W/m K), and the wire/sheath interface i
Semmy [17]

Answer:

maximum allowable electrical power=4.51W/m

critical radius of the insulation=13mm

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this heat transfer problem we must initially draw the wire and interpret the whole problem (see attached image)

Subsequently, consider the heat transfer equation from the internal part of the tube to the external air, taking into account the resistance by convection, and  conduction as shown in the attached image

to find the critical insulation radius we must divide the conductivity of the material by the external convective coefficient

r=\frac{k}{h} =\frac{0.13}{10}=0.013m=13mm

Find the power and the rms value of the following signal square: x(t) = 10 sin(10t) sin(15t)
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

\mathbf{P_x =25 \ watts}

\mathbf{x_{rmx} = 5 \ unit}

Explanation:

Given that:

x(t) = 10 sin(10t) . sin (15t)

the objective is to find the power and the rms value of the following signal square.

Recall that:

sin (A + B) + sin(A - B) = 2 sin A.cos B

x(t) = 10 sin(15t) . cos (10t)

x(t) = 5(2 sin (15t). cos (10t))

x(t) = 5 × ( sin (15t + 10t) +  sin (15t-10t)

x(t) = 5sin(25 t) + 5 sin (5t)

From the knowledge of sinusoidial signal  Asin (ωt), Power can be expressed as:

P= \dfrac{A^2}{2}

For the number of sinosoidial signals;

Power can be expressed as:

P = \dfrac{A_1^2}{2}+ \dfrac{A_2^2}{2}+ \dfrac{A_3^2}{2}+ ...

As such,

For x(t), Power  P_x = \dfrac{5^2}{2}+ \dfrac{5^2}{2}

P_x = \dfrac{25}{2}+ \dfrac{25}{2}

P_x = \dfrac{50}{2}

\mathbf{P_x =25 \ watts}

For the number of sinosoidial signals;

RMS = \sqrt{(\dfrac{A_1}{\sqrt{2}})^2+(\dfrac{A_2}{\sqrt{2}})^2+(\dfrac{A_3}{\sqrt{2}})^2+...

For x(t), the RMS value is as follows:

x_{rmx} =\sqrt{(\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{2}} )^2 +(\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{2}} )^2 }

x_{rmx }=\sqrt{(\dfrac{25}{2} ) +(\dfrac{25}{2} ) }

x_{rmx }=\sqrt{(\dfrac{50}{2} )}

x_{rmx} =\sqrt{25}

\mathbf{x_{rmx} = 5 \ unit}
