An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. Of the planes that will use the airport, the lowest acceleration rate is likely to be 3 m/s2. The takeoff speed for this plane will be 65 m/s. Assuming this minimum acceleration, what is the minimum allowed length (in meters) for the runway?
Express a speed of 20 nm/h (1 nautical mile = 6076 ft)in units of kilometers per minute.
The sketch shows an oil manometer that is connected between two pipes which transport water. The density of water can be taken as 998kg/m3, the specific gravity of glycerol is 0.76 and atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. The respective dimensions (as shown on the sketch) are given below:
h1 = 0.17 m h2 = 350 mm h3 =15cm.
If the pressure gauge gives a reading of 19 kPa, what is the absolute pressure in pipe B?
