spotlight on a boat is 2.5 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is 8.0 m horizontally displaced fr

om the spotlight (see the drawing). The depth of the water is 4.0 m. Determine the distance d, which locates the point where the light strikes the bottom. Assume water has a refraction index of 1.333

Answer:

Explanation:

Let i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction .

From the figure

Tan ( 90 - i ) = 2.5 / 8

cot i = 2.5 / 8

Tan i = 8 / 2.5 = 3.2

i = 72.65°

From snell's law

sini / sin r = refractive index

sin 72.65 / sinr = 1.333

sin r = .9545  / 1.333

= .72

r = 46⁰

From the figure

Tan r  = d / 4

Tan 46 = d /4

d = 4 x Tan 46

= 4 x 1.0355

=4.14 m .

a 2.35 water bucket is swung in a full cirlce of radius 0.824 m just fast enough so that the water doesn't fall out the top mean
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

2.84 m/s

Explanation:

At the top position of the circular trajectory, the normal reaction is zero:

N = 0

So it means that the only force that is providing the centripetal force is the gravitational force (the weight of the bucket). Therefore we have:

mg = m \frac{v^2}{r}

where

m is the mass of the water bucket

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed of the bucket

r = 0.824 m is the radius of the circle

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(0.824 m)}=2.84 m/s

What is the eulerian description of fluid motion how does it differ from the lagrangian description?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Kinematics : Study of motion

Fluid kinematics : study of how fluid flows and how to describe its motion.

There are two ways to describe fluid motion

one is Eulerian, where the variations are described at all fixed stations as a function of time.

the other is Lagrangian, in which one follows all fluid particles and describes the variations around each fluid particle along its trajectory.

<u>DIFFRENCE  BETWEEN  LAGRANGIAN AND EULERIAN:</u>

1.Both Lagrangian and Eulerian describes time variation.

2. Eulerian describes the rate of change in one point of space

Lagrangian descries rate of change of a property of material system.
