A student engineer is given a summer job to find the drag force on a new unmaned aerial vehicle that travels at a cruising speed

of 320 km/h in air at 15 C. The student decided to build a 1/50 scale model and test it in a water tunnel at the same temperature.
(a) What conditions are required to ensure the similarity of scale model and prototype.
(b) Find the water speed required to model the prototype.
(c) If the drag force on the model is 5 kN, determine the drag force on the prototype

Answer:

b. 1232.08 km/hr

c. 1.02 kn

Explanation:

a) For dynamic similar conditions, the non-dimensional terms R/ρ V2 L2 and ρVL/ μ should be same for both prototype and its model. For these non-dimensional terms , R is drag force, V is velocity in m/s, μ is dynamic viscosity, ρ is density and L is length parameter.

See attachment for the remaining.

can someone help me with this engineering mechanics homework, please? I tried to solve it, but I got so confused.​
marishachu [46]

Explanation:

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑Fx = ma

Rx − 250 N = 0

Rx = 250 N

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑Fy = ma

Ry − 120 N − 300 N = 0

Ry = 420 N

Sum of forces in the z direction:

∑Fz = ma

Rz − 50 N = 0

Rz = 50 N

Sum of moments about the x axis:

∑τx = Iα

Mx + (-50 N)(0.2 m) + (-120 N)(0.1 m) = 0

Mx = 22 Nm

Sum of moments about the y axis:

∑τy = Iα

My = 0 Nm

Sum of moments about the z axis:

∑τz = Iα

Mz + (250 N)(0.2 m) + (-120 N)(0.16 m) = 0

Mz = -30.8 Nm

When replacing a timing belt, many experts and vehicle manufacturers recommend that all of the following should be replaced exce
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Correct Answer:

A. water pump

Explanation:

<em>Timing belt in a vehicle helps to ensure that crankshaft, pistons and valves operate together in proper sequence.</em> Timing belts are lighter, quieter and more efficient than chains that was previously used in vehicles.

<em>Most car manufacturers recommended that, when replacing timing belt, tension assembly, water pump, camshaft oil seal should also be replaced with it at same time. </em>

A medium-sized jet has a 3.8-mm-diameter fuselage and a loaded mass of 85,000 kg. The drag on an airplane is primarily due to th
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

F_{thrust} ≅ 111 KN

Explanation:

Given that;

A medium-sized jet has a 3.8-mm-diameter i.e diameter (d) = 3.8

mass = 85,000 kg

drag co-efficient (C) = 0.37

(velocity (v)= 230 m/s

density (ρ) = 1.0 kg/m³

To calculate the thrust; we need to determine the relation of the drag force; which is given as:

F_{drag} = \frac{1}{2} × CρAv²

where;

ρ = density of air wind.

C = drag co-efficient

A = Area of the jet

v = velocity of the jet

From the question, we can deduce that the jet is in motion with a constant speed; as such: the net force acting on the jet in the air = 0

SO, F_{drag}-F_{thrust} = 0

We can as well say:

F_{drag}= F_{thrust}

We can now replace F_{thrust} with F_{drag} in the above equation.

Therefore, F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{2} × CρAv²

The A which stands as the area of the jet is given by the formula:

A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}

We can now have a new equation after substituting our A into the previous equation as:

F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{2} × Cρ (\frac{\pi d^2}{4})v^2

Substituting our data from above; we have:

F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{2} × (0.37)(1.0kg/m^3)(\frac{\pi(3.8m)^2 }{4})(230m/s)^2

F_{thrust} = \frac{1}{8}   (0.37)(1.0kg/m^3)({\pi(3.8m)^2 })(230m/s)^2

F_{thrust} = 110,990N

F_{thrust}  in N (newton) to KN (kilo-newton) will be:

F_{thrust} = (110,990N)*\frac{1KN}{1,000N}

F_{thrust} = 110.990 KN

F_{thrust} ≅ 111 KN

In conclusion, the jet engine needed to provide 111 KN thrust in order to cruise at 230 m/s at an altitude where the air density is 1.0 kg/m³.
