Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 10P
For Problem 1.6, find the distance the particles travel before reaching 99 percent of terminal speed. Plot the distance traveled as a function of time.
1.6 In a pollution control experiment, minute solid particles (typical mass 1 × 10−13 slug) are dropped in air. The terminal speed of the particles is measured to be 0.2 ft/s. The drag of these particles is given by FD = kV, where V is the instantaneous particle speed. Find the value of the constant k. Find the time required to reach 99 percent of terminal speed.

- At a particular hydroelectric power station water flows at a maximum rate of 155 cubic meters per second, falling a distance of 444 meters. The power station's maximum power output is 450 MW. Estimate the efficiency of the power station (the maximum power output as a percentage of the total energy released by the water falling 444 meters at maximum flow). Recall that 1 cubic meter of water is 1,000 kilograms and 1 kilogram of water falling 1 meter releases 10 Joules of energy. Enter your answer as a percentage and round your answer to the nearest 1%.
