- When coughing, the windpipes contract to increase the velocity of air passing through the windpipe to help clear mucus. The velocity, v, at which the air flows through the windpipe depends on the radius, r of the windpipe. If R is the resting radius of the windpipe, then the velocity of air passing through the windpipe satisfies: v(r)=Ar^2(R−r) where A is a constant dependent on the strength of the diaphram muscles. Find v'(r) and the coordinates of the maxarrow_forward16-3. A 0.254-kg block is placed on a light vertical spring (k = 3500 N/m), and I push the blockdownward, compressing the spring 0.126 m. This is the initial position of the block. I thenrelease the block, and the spring pushes the block upward. When the spring has returnedto its uncompressed length, the block leaves the spring and continues to travel upward.What height above its initial position will the block reach if air resistance is negligible?arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding Suppose the mass in Equation 8.6 is doubled while keeping the all other conditions the same. Would the maximum expansion of the spring increase, decrease, or remain the same? Would the speed at point B be larger, smaller, or the same compared to the original mass?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 of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00 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 wan-ling is not uniform with depth.arrow_forwardAn energy-absorbing car bumper has a spring stiffness constant of 540 kN/m Find the maximum compression of the bumper if the car, with mass 1300 kg, collides with a wall at a speed of 2.1 m/sm/s (approximately 5 mi/h)arrow_forwardAt a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 10 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power generation potential of a wind turbine with 60-m-diameter blades at that location. Take the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3.arrow_forward

- A light bar AD is suspended from a cable BE and supports a 30-kg block at C. The ends A and D of the bar are in contact with frictionless vertical walls. Determine the reaction at D in N. a =196 mm, b =110 mm, c =80 mm and d = 160 mmarrow_forwardA heavy-duty stapling gun uses a 0.177-kg metal rod that rams against the staple to eject it. The rod is pushed by a stiff spring called a "ram spring" (k = 36100 N/m). The mass of this spring may be ignored. Squeezing the handle of the gun first compresses the ram spring by 3.28 cm from its unstrained length and then releases it. Assuming that the ram spring is oriented vertically and is still compressed by 1.13 cm when the downward-moving ram hits the staple, find the speed of the ram at the instant of contact.arrow_forwardYou have been contracted to test springs for quality of a rocket car whose mass m, needs to be stopped when caught byafter reaching max velocity. The rocket car's acceleration has magnitude Bt after engine ignites from rest. The rocket car has enough fel to accelerate a distance L on a frictionless track. After that point, it runs out of fuel and no longer accelerates. If the max possible compression length of spring is D, what must be the min spring constant k for the spring to safely stop rocket car at max compression?arrow_forward
