Answer:
Fg = 98.1 [N]; N = 98.1 [N]; Ff = 39.24 [N]; a = 2.076[m/^2]
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and interpret each of the forces acting on the box. In the attached diagram we can find the free body diagram.
The gravitational force is equal to:
Fg = (10 * 9.81) = 98.1 [N]
Now by summing forces on the Y axis equal to zero, we can find the normal force exerted by the surface.
N - Fg = 0
N = Fg
N = 98.1 [N]
The friction force is defined as the product of normal force by the coefficient of friction.
Ff = N * μ
Ff = 98.1 * 0.4
Ff = 39.24 [N]
By the sum forces on the x-axis equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the value of acceleration.
60 - Ff = m * a
60 - 39.24 = 10 * a
a = 2.076[m/^2]
Answer:
the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s
Explanation:
Given:
Diameter of the pipe = 100mm = 0.1m
Contraction ratio = 0.5
thus, diameter at the throat of venturimeter = 0.5×0.1m = 0.05m
The formula for discharge through a venturimeter is given as:
Where,
is the coefficient of discharge = 0.97 (given)
A₁ = Area of the pipe
A₁ =
A₂ = Area at the throat
A₂ =
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
Now,
The gauge pressure at throat = Absolute pressure - The atmospheric pressure
⇒The gauge pressure at throat = 2 - 10.3 = -8.3 m (Atmosphric pressure = 10.3 m of water)
Thus, the pressure difference at the throat and the pipe = 3- (-8.3) = 11.3m
Substituting the values in the discharge formula we get
or
or
Q = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s
Hence, the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s
