Concept explainers
The drag on the hull of a ship depends in part on the height of the water waves produced by the hull. The potential energy associated with these waves therefore depends on the acceleration of gravity g. Hence, we can state that the wave drag on the hull is

- A block of mass m slides along a horizontal surface lubricated with a thick oil which providesa drag force proportional to the square root of velocity.F_d=-bv^1/2If v = v0 at t = 0, determine v as a function of timearrow_forwardA sled with two runners slides along a thin horizontal layer of water between the ice and the runners. The horizontal force that the water puts on the runners is equal to 2.4 lb when the sled's speed is 50 ft/s. The total area of both runners in contact with the water is 0.04 ft2, and the viscosity of the water is 3.5x10 lbs/ft2. Determine the thickness of the water layer under the runners. Assume a linear velocity distribution in the water layer.arrow_forwardQ6) The space between two parallel plates is filled with oil. Each side of the plate is 60 cm. the thickness of oil film is 12.5 mm. The upper plate, which moves at 2.5 metre per sec requires a force of 98.1 N to maintain the Speed. Determinearrow_forward

A floatstick check finds that there is 11,549 litres of fuel already in the tanks. How much fuel, expressed in litres, must be added to the tanks? The density of jet fuel varies with temperature. For the prevailing conditions take the density of the jet fuel to be 0.803 kg/L or equivalently 1.77 lb/L.arrow_forward
