A rectangular channel 6 m wide with a depth of flow of 3m has a mean velocity of 1.5 m/sec. The channel undergoes a smooth, grad

ual contraction to a width of 4.5 m. (a) Calculate the depth and velocity in the contracted section (Hint: y2 is between 2.6~2.9m). (b) Calculate the net fluid force on the walls and floor of the contraction in the flow direction. In each case, identify any assumptions that you made.

Answer:

The answer for (1) 2.07 m/s (2) F= 63.8kN

Explanation:

Solution

By applying the energy equation from the approach  section 1 to the contacted section 2 with negligible head losses and assuming a horizontal bottom

we have y₁ + V₁²/ 2g = y₂ +  q₂²/2gy₂²

Where

q is =flow rate

y = the depth

g = the acceleration

Kindly find an attached copy of the final solution for this question.

A satellite orbits the Earth every 2 hours at an average distance from the Earth's centre of 8000km. (i) What is the average ang
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

i)ω=3600 rad/s

ii)V=7059.44 m/s

iii)F=1245.8 N

Explanation:

i)

We know that angular speed given as

\omega =\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}

We know that for one revolution

θ=2π

Given that time t= 2 hr

So

ω=θ/t

ω=2π/2 = π rad/hr

ω=3600 rad/s

ii)

Average speed V

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

Where M is the mass of earth.

R is the distance

G is the constant.

Now by putting the values

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{8000\times 10^3}}

V=7059.44 m/s

iii)

We know that centripetal fore given as

F=\dfrac{mV^2}{R}

Here given that m= 200 kg

R= 8000 km

so now by putting the values

F=\dfrac{mV^2}{R}

F=\dfrac{200\times 7059.44^2}{8000\times 10^3}

F=1245.8 N

All brake lights are dimmer than normal. Technician A says that bad bulbs could be the cause. Technician B says that high resist
yarga [219]

Answer:

All Brake lights are dimmer than normal because high resistance in the brake switch could be the cause according to Technician B.

Explanation:

According to Technician A

When the bulb is faulty then no current will flow through bulb and it will be open circuit.So no light will produce in bulb .

According to Technician B

When a high resistance inserted in series  circuit the voltage across each resistance is reduced and this cause the light glow dimly.

Formula of resistance in series circuit

Rt=r1+r2+r3......

Stream Piracy – Kaaterskill, NY. Check and double-click the Problem 15 folder. The dark blue and orange streams highlight the pr
baherus [9]

Answer:

b. The pirating streams are eroding headwardly to intersect more of the other streams’ drainage basins, causing water to be diverted down their steeper gradients.

Explanation:

From the Kaaterskill NY 15 minute map (1906), this shows two classic examples of stream capture.

The Kaaterskill Creek flow down the east relatively steep slopes into the Hudson River Valley. While, the Gooseberry Creek is a low gradient stream flowing down the west direction which in turn drains the higher parts of the Catskills in this area.

However, there is Headward erosion of Kaaterskill Creek which resulted to the capture of part of the headwaters of Gooseberry Creek.

The evidence for this is the presence of "barbed" (enters at obtuse rather than acute angle) tributary which enters Kaaterskill Creek from South Lake which was once a part of the Gooseberry Creek drainage system.

It should be noted again, that there is drainage divide between the Gooseberry and Kaaterskill drainage systems (just to the left of the word Twilight) which is located in the center of the valley.

As it progresses, this divide will then move westward as Kaaterskill captures more and more of the Gooseberry system.
