Using the equation of the previous problem, find the viscosity of motor oil in which a steel ball of radius 0.8 mm falls a terminal speed of 4.32 cm/s. The densities of the ball and the oil are 7.86 and 0.88 g/mL, respectively.
The differential change in pressure p close to the surface of a static fluid is given by the following expression: dp/dy = -3Ap2,where A is a constant, with units of 1/(atm•m), and p is the pressure in atm.

Your task is to design a light‐weight tie of length L with a circular cross‐section of radius R. It must carry an axial force F, without stretching by more than δ. You will need to choose the material (with Young’s modulus E and density ρ) and the corresponding crosssection radius to suit your choice of material, i.e. R is a “free variable”,a) Show that the extension of the tie is given by δ = FL/AE, where A = πR2

A spherical particle falling at a terminal speed in a liquid must have the gravitational force balanced by the drag force and the buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, while the drag force is assumed to be given by Stokes Law:Fd = 6πRηv,where R is the radius of the object, η is the coefficient of viscosity in the fluid, and v is the terminal speed. a) Give the equation for terminal speed in the variables from Stokes law, and the densities of the sphere ρs and the fluid ρ1. b) Using the equation of the previous step, find the viscosity of motor oil (in kg/m/s) in which a steel ball of radius 0.95 mm falls with a terminal speed of 4.34 cm/s. The densities of the ball and the oil are 7.7 and 0.72 g/mL, respectively.
An airplane has wings, each with area 3.85 m2, designed so that air flows over the top of the wing at 248 m/s and underneath the wing at 226 m/s. Approximately what size wings would an aircraft need on Mars if its engine generates the same differences in speed as in the "Practice It" and the total mass of the craft is 300 kg? The density of air on the surface of Mars is approximately one percent Earth's density at sea level, and the acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mars is about 3.8 m/s2. ______________m2

During a high Reynolds number experiment, the total drag force acting on a spherical body of diameter D = 12 cm subjected to airflow at 1 atm and 5°C is measured to be 5.2 N.
