Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 6P

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.

2. A fluid with density ρ = 930 kg/m3 and viscosity η = 0.30 × 10−2 Pa · s flows in a pipe. The pressure drop across the pipe is ∆P = 25 kPa and the length of the pipe is L = 1.5 m. You measure that a mass m = 10.2 kg of fluid flows out of the pipe over a duration of ∆t = 8.5 s. (a) Determine the volume of fluid that flowed out of the pipe over the 8.5 s duration.  (b) Determine the volume flow rate. (c) Determine the radius of the pipe. Show all your work.
the magnitude of the velocity is known as the speed and it is generally expressed in units of m/s^2 or ft/^2. true or false
A lightweight drone (1.00 kg) is launched at 800 m high and moves upward at a constant velocity (while ignoring the effects of gravity only on the drone). The balloon, when measured at a horizontal distance from you, is about 1600 m away from you. At the moment when the drone moves, you shoot a bullet (weight =180 g) with an initial velocity of 1009 m/s at a fixed angle α, where sin α=3/5 and cos α= 4/5. (g = 9.8 m/s2)               c. What is the upward velocity of the drone?

  • Joan is setting up her new gaming PC, however she is worried about it overheating. She finds that the rate of heat loss (H), in W, that her cooling system can generate depends on the speed (V) and surface area (A) of her fans and the density of her coolant (ρ). Using the information provided above, determine the simplest expression that Joan can use to determine the rate of heat loss that her cooling system can generate.
    In an oil pool, a small steel ball is released from the surface (y=0) without initial velocity. The strength of the resistance force exerted by the oil against the movement of the ball is directly proportional to the speed of the ball (Fd = k*V , k: constant). Neglect the buoyant force exerted by the oil. (m = 0.2kg, k = 0.843550 kg/s, g = 9.81 m/s^2). a-) What is the limit speed of ball ( Vlim)? b-) What is the time it takes for the speed of the ball to reach 99% of the limit speed after it is released from the surface? c-) What is the depth at which the ball's velocity reaches 99% of the limit velocity after it is released from the surface?
    A 26-pound weight stretches a certain spring 2 feet when the weight and spring are placed in a fluid that resists motion with a force equal to four times the speed. If the weight is stopped at the equilibrium position and then given a velocity of 5 ft / s, find the equation of motion. The DE that models this phenomenon is y "+ Xy '+ (p/l)y = 0, where X is the resistance force of the medium, p is the weight and l the stretch it produces in the spring.
