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.

- I need help with this question please. thank youarrow_forwardIf you are not sure pass it. I dont want wrong answers, hand written solution is also fine but wrong answer i will report. A body of mass 5 kg is projected vertically upward with an initial velocity 17 meters per second. The gravitational constant is 9.8 m/s2. The air resistance is equal to k|v| where k is a constant. (1)Find a formula for the velocity at any time v(t) in terms of k. (2)Find the limit of this velocity for a fixed time (t0) as the air resistance coefficient k goes to zero.arrow_forward22 A partially submerged body is towed in water. The resistance R to its motion depends on the density p, the viscosity of water, length 1 of the body, velocity V of the body and acceleration due to gravity. Show that the resistance to motion can be expressed in the form R = P²²V² + [(HV) (1) TVarrow_forward
- In order to test the flow over the surface of an airplane wing, a model is built to a scale of 1/17 and is tested in water. The airplane is designed to fly at 850 km/h. Take the temperature of both the air and the water to be 20°C. 850 km/h Part A What should the velocity of the model be in order to maintain the same Reynolds number? Express your answer in kilometers per hour to three significant figures. Hint 1. How to approach the problem Recall the expression for the Reynolds number through v, V and Land equate the numbers of the prototype and of the model.arrow_forwardVariation of the density can be modeled when climbing a mountain as p%3887,19*[16-(4z/71)] kg/m³. If wind speed at the top of the mountain is V = 21i + 127+ 3k m/s, calculate the changing of total density with time [kg/m.s] at the mountain summit? (NOTE: Take air properties at -10 °C at the top of the mountain. Also, your results must be negative magnitude!!!)arrow_forwardA fluid is being pumped through a pipe. The density of fluid is 872 kg/m³. The viscosity is 2.8x102 Pa.s. The velocity in the pipe is 5.9 m/s. If the Reynolds number is 2100. a- What is the pipe cross-sectional area? b- If the pipe cross-sectional area increased 1.5 fold under same Reynold number, density and viscosity, what is the new velocity?arrow_forward
- Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length, Ah (in mm), of a column of water 1.5 km high for a temperature increase of 1.2 °C.Assume the column is not free to expand sideways. As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean warming is not uniform with depth. Properties of water: 3 = 210 x 10 /C. c= 4186 J/kg - °C, L; = 334 kJ/kg, Le = 2256 kJ/kg Enter you answer below (to the nearest mm): Ah (in mm) = Type your answer.arrow_forwardi need ans very very fast in 20 min and thank you | ᴅʏʙᴀʟᴀ ?✨؛arrow_forwardA centrifuge with a diameter of 1.2 m and a height of 40 cm must spin at what rpm. For a suspension with particles bigger than 25 microns, a liquid thickness of 18-cm in the bowl that flows out at a rate of 100 L/min? Particles have a density of 1250 kilograms per cubic meter. The density of the water is 991 kg/m^3, with a viscosity of 0.88 cP.arrow_forward
