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
