If the ice hits the ground with a vertical speed of 85m/s, what was the height of the plane when the ice fell off? (Assume that friction can be ignored.)arrow_forwardUnits and dimensions are important in any engineering analysis. This problem is about that. In an old heat transfer textbook, you found the following equation for some specific heat transfer problem. Ə²T Q + əx² λ ƏT Ət You know that T is temperature (K) and x is the x-coordinate, which is measured in meters. You also know that t is time (s) and the book uses as the symbol for thermal conductivity, whose unit is W/m.K.

- In medical literatures, local blood perfusion rate is typically presented as xx ml/(min 100g tissue), in another word, it represents xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue mass of 100 g per minute to satisfy its nutritional needs. As we learned from the course lectures, the local blood perfusion rate appearing in the Pennes bioheat equation is in a unit of 1/s, or can be interpreted as xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue volume of 1 ml per second. The following lists the blood perfusion rates in various organs or structures in a human body from medical textbooks: brain (50 ml/(min 100g tissue)), kidney (35 ml/(min 100g tissue)), and muscle at rest (3 ml/(min 100g tissue)). Please convert the above local blood perfusion rates into values with the unit of 1/s, therefore, they can be used in the Pennes bioheat equation. The tissue density in a human body is 1050 kg/m³.arrow_forwardBased on this information (picture), by how many mm does a 65 kg runner’s Achilles’ tendon stretch?
