Calculate the average speed of the gasoline exiting a nozzle at a gas station. Next time you go to a gas station, measure the volumetric flow rate of the gas first, and then measure the diameter of the nozzle. Use Equation (8.12) to calculate the average speed of the gasoline coming out of the nozzle. Hint: First measure the time that it takes to put so many gallons of gasoline into the gas tank!

- Next time you are putting gasoline in your car, determine the volumetric flow rate of the gasoline at the pumping station. Record the time that it takes to pump a known volume of gasoline into your car’s gas tank. The flow meter at the pump will give you the volume in gallons, so all you have to do is to measure the time. Investigate the size of the storage tanks in your neighborhood gas station. Estimate how often the storage tank needs to be refilled. State your assumptions.arrow_forwardA person who has a weight of 158 pound-force [lb; on Earth is travelling to Mars in a spacecraft. As long as the engines on the spacecraft are not operating, the person is essentially weightless during the voyage. During a course correction, the spacecraft undergoes an acceleration of 0.81 g. The tem "g" is the Earth-normal gravity, so 1 "g" is 9.8 meters per second squared [m's1. This acceleration makes it feel like there is gravity in the spacecraft, and the person will have a perceived weight during the acceleration period, rather than feeling weightless. Once the person reaches Mars, what is the mass, in units of kilograms [kg), and weight, in units of pound-force [lb], of the person on Mars? The gravity of Mars is 3.71 meters per second squared [mis"). E Click the icon to view the conversion table. E Click the icon to view the common derived units in the SI system.

The power required to maintain level flight depends on air drag or resistance at that altitude, which may be estimated by the relationship 1 power = Pe C„AU³ air where pr is density of air at the given altitude, C, represents the drag coefficient of the plane, A is the planform area, and U represents the cruising speed of the plane. Assume that a plane is moving at constant speed and, C, remaining constant, determine the ratio of power that would be required when the plane is cruising at 8000 m and when the plane is cruising at 11,000 m.arrow_forward
