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

What are some guidelines for using self-assessments?
lakkis [162]
Decide which components you wish to assess yourself. There is no set order in which you do this. you could, for an example assess one or two elements and skip the rest.

The y-position of a damped oscillator as a function of time is shown in the figure.
MrRissso [65]

The length of time that an oscillator is allowed to oscillate, as well as its damping coefficient.

  • t= 1.33s
  • b = 0.0426 s^-1

<h3>What is the period of the oscillator, and what factors influence the amount of damping that it has?</h3>

In most situations, the equation may be expressed numerically as

When we look at the data and see that there are cycles between the timestamps t= 0s and t= 4s, we may conclude that it finishes three cycles once every four seconds. As a result, the length of time that is going to be necessary to finish one cycle of damping will be

t =4/3sec

t= 1.33s

In most situations, the equation for amplitude may be expressed analytically as

A=A_0e^{-bt}

Therefore

3=5e^{-12b}

0.6=e^{-12b}

Therefore

-0.511 = -12b lne

b = 0.0426 s^{-1}

In conclusion, damping refers to an influence that either operates from inside an oscillatory system or acts on it and has the consequence of reducing or halting the system from oscillating. This impact might occur from either side of the system. In physical systems, damping is produced by processes that cause the energy that is stored in an oscillation to be lost. These processes are called dissipative. The collective name for these processes is "damping agents." The damping coefficient may thus be written as

b = 0.0426 s^-1

vampirchik [111]
From Newton's law v^2 = u^2 + 2as where a is the acceleration and s is the distance.  
But to go any further, we need to know how fast the vehicle is accelerating 
 From v = u +at
 We have a = u/t where the final velocity v = 0

 So in one minute acceleration = (35 / 60) / 60 = 0.0097 ms/2. The first
experession in bracket is the initial velocity, u, in metres per seconds. 
 Hence v^2 = (0.583)^2 + 2 (0.0097)(30)
 v^2 = 0.3398 + 0.5826 = 0.9224
 v = âš 0.9224 = 0.960m
