We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top

of the tree exerts a horizontal force, and thus a torque that can topple the tree if there is no opposing torque. Suppose a tree's canopy presents an area of 9.0 m2 to the wind centered at a height of 7.0 m above the ground. (These are reasonable values for forest trees.)

Answer:

A,)FD= 114.1N

B)Torque=798.5Nm

Explanation:

We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top of the tree exerts a horizontal force, and thus a torque that can topple the tree if there is no opposing torque. Suppose a tree's canopy presents an area of 9.0 m^2 to the wind centered at a height of 7.0 m above the ground. (These are reasonable values for forest trees.)

If the wind blows at 6.5 m/s, what is the magnitude of the drag force of the wind on the canopy? Assume a drag coefficient of 0.50 and the density of air of 1.2 kg/m^3

B)What torque does this force exert on the tree, measured about the point where the trunk meets the ground?

A)The equation of Drag force equation can be expressed below,

FD =[ CD × A × ρ × (v^2/ 2)]

Where CD= Drag coefficient for cone-shape = 0.5

ρ = Density

Area of of the tree canopy = 9.0 m^2

density of air of = 1.2 kg/m^3

V= wind velocity= 6.5 m/s,

If we substitute those values to the equation, we have;

FD =[ CD × A × ρ × (v^2/ 2)]

F= [ 0.5 × 9.0 m^2 × 1.2 kg/m^3 ( 6.5 m/s/ 2)]

FD= 114.1N

B) the torque can be calculated using below formula below

Torque= (Force × distance)

= 114.1 × 7

= 798.5Nm

A circular wire loop of radius LaTeX: RR lies in the xy-plane with the z-axis running through its center. There is initially no
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a circular loop of radius R

r = R

Note: the radius lies in the xy plane

Area is given as

A = πr² = πR²

At t = 0, no magnetic field B=0

The magnetic field is given as a function of time

B = C•exp(t) •i + D•t² •k

Where C and D are constant

We want to find the magnitude of EMF in the circular loop.

EMF is given as

ε = - N•dΦ/dt

Where,

N is number of turn and in this case we will assume N = 1.

Φ is magnetic flux and it is given as

Φ = BA

ε = - N•d(BA)/dt

Where A is a constant, then we have

ε = - N•A•dB/dt

B = C•exp(t) •i + D•t² •k

dB/dt = C•exp(t) •i + 2D•t •k

Then,

ε = - N•A•dB/dt

ε = - 1•πR²•(C•exp(t) •i + 2D•t •k)

ε = -πR²•(C•exp(t) •i + 2D•t •k)

So, let find the magnitude of EMF

Generally finding magnitude of two vectors R = a•i + b•j

Then, |R| = √a² + b²

So, applying this we have,

ε = πR² (√(C²•exp(2t) + 4D²t²))

From the given magnetic field, we are given that,

B = 0 at t = 0

B = C•exp(t) •i + D•t² •k

B = 0 = C•exp(0) •i + D•0² •k

0 = C

Then, C = 0.

So, substituting this into the EMF.

ε = πR² (√(0²•exp(2t) + 4D²t²))

ε = πR² (√4D²t²)

ε = πR² × 2Dt

ε = 2πDR²t

So, the EMF is also a function of time

ε = 2πDR²t
