When the ball reaches its original position, it will have the same speed (but would be traveling in the opposite direction). So the average speed is
regardless of how long the ball was in the air.
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Consider the cylindrical weir of diameter 3m and length 6m. If the fluid on the left has a specific gravity of 1.6 and on the right has a specific gravity of 0.8, Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.
Answer:
- the magnitude of the resultant force is 557.32 kN
- the direction of resultant force is 48.29°
Explanation:
Given the data in the question and the diagram below,
First we work on the force on the left hand side.
Left Horizontal
= βgAr
here, h = 3/2 = 1.5 m, β = 1.6, g = 9.81 m/s², A = 3 m × 6 m = 18 m²
we substitute
= βgAh = ( 1.6 × 1000 ) × 9.81 × 18 × 1.5 = 423792 N
Left Vertical
= ( βgπh² / 2 ) × W
we substitute
= [ ( ( 1.6 × 1000 ) × 9.81 × π(1.5)² ) / 2 ] × 6 = 332845.458 N
Now we go to the right hand side
Right Horizontal
= βgAh
here, h' = 1.5/2 = 0.75 m, β = 0.8, g = 9.81 m/s², A = 1.5 m × 6 m = 9 m²
we substitute
= ( 0.8 × 1000 ) × 9.81 × 9 × 0.75 ) = 52974 N
Right Vertical
= ( βgπh² / 4 ) × W
we substitute
= [ ( ( 0.8 × 1000 ) × 9.81 × π(1.5)² ) / 4 ] × 6 = 83211.36 N
Hence
Fx = -
= 52974 N - 423792 N = 370818 N
Fy = +
= 332845.458 N + 83211.36 N = 416056.818 N
R = √( Fx² + Fy² ) = √[ (370818 N)² + (416056.818 N)² ] = 557323.3 N
R = 557.32 kN
Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force is 557.32 kN
Direction of resultant force;
tanθ = Fy / Fx
we substitute
tanθ = 416056.818 N / 370818 N
tanθ = 1.121997
θ = tan⁻¹( 1.121997 )
θ = 48.29°
Therefore, the direction of resultant force is 48.29°
