The value of the gravitational acceleration g decreases with elevation from 9.807 m/s2 at sea level to 9.767 m/s2 at an altitude of 13,000 m, where large passenger planes cruise. Determine the percent reduction in the weight of an airplane cruising at 13,000 m relative to its weight at sea level.
The weight of a 100 kg mass body at a given elevation is 0.9804 kN. If the variation from the standard gravitational acceleration is 0.004 mps² per 1000 m, determine the elevation at this point.
Use density of water = 1000kg/m3 and acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.81 m/s2. A rectangular tank containing water at a depth of 1.2 m is accelerating towards the right, the motion of which is parallel to the longest side. If the tank has the following dimensions: length = 3meters, width = 1.8 meters and height = 1.5 meters, determine the following:
a.) The maximum allowable acceleration
b.) The unbalanced force causing the maximum acceleration in kN.
c.) Angle in degrees of fluid inclination of the acceleration from part a.
d.) How many cu. m of water is spilled when a = 2.5 m/s2
