Reminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated.
Note Some of the formulas below use the special number
Reynolds Number The Reynolds number is very important in such fields as fluid flow and aerodynamics. In the case of a fluid flowing through a pipe, the Reynolds’s number
Here
a. If the fluid in the pipe is toluene, its viscosity is
b. If the toluene is replaced by glycerol, then the viscosity is

- OTHER APPLICATIONS Volume A spherical snowball is melting. Find the approximate change in volume if the radius decreases from 3cm to 2.8cm.arrow_forwardForce If you have ever ridden on a chair lift at a ski area and had it stop, you know that the chair will pull down on the cable, dropping you down to a lower height than when the chair is in motion. Figure 19 shows a gondola that is stopped. Find the magnitude of the tension in the cable toward each end of the cable if the total weight of the gondola and its occupants is 1,850 pounds.arrow_forwardThe carbon content of machine steel for gages usually ranges from 0.15% to 0.25%. Round the answers for a and b to 2 decimal places. a. What is the minimum weight of carbon in 250 kilograms of machine steel? b. What is the maximum weight of carbon in 250 kilograms of machine steel?arrow_forward
- Frictional Force The frictional force F between the tires and the road required to keep a car on a curved section of a highway is directly proportional to the square of the speed s of the car. If the speed of the car is doubled, the force will change by what factor?arrow_forwardVelocity of a Ferris Wheel Use Figure 7 as a model of the Ferris wheel called Colossus that is built in St. Louis in 1986. The diameter of the wheel is 165 feet. A brochure that gives some statistics associated with Colossus indicates that it rotates at 1.5 revolutions per minute and also indicates that a rider on the wheel is traveling at 10 miles per hour. Explain why these two numbers, 1.5 revolutions per minute and 10 miles per hour, cannot both be correct.arrow_forward
