Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 38P
A female freestyle ice skater, weighing 100 lbf, glides on one skate at speed V = 20 ft/s. Her weight is supported by a thin film of liquid water melted from the ice by the pressure of the skate blade. Assume the blade is L = 11.5 in. long and w = 0.125 in. wide, and that the water film is h = 0.0000575 in. thick. Estimate the deceleration of the skater that results from viscous shear in the water film, if end effects are neglected.

Consider two different flows over geometrically similar airfoil shapes,one airfoil being twice the size of the other. The flow over the smallerairfoil has freestream properties given by T∞ = 200 K, ρ∞ = 1.23 kg/m3,and V∞ = 100 m/s. The flow over the larger airfoil is described byT∞ = 800 K, ρ∞ = 1.739 kg/m3, and V∞ = 200 m/s. Assume thatboth μ and a are proportional to T 1/2. Are the two flows dynamicallysimilar?
Air at 20°C and 1 atm flow at 20 m/s past the flat platein Fig. . A pitot stagnation tube, placed 2 mm fromthe wall, develops a manometer head h = 16 mm of Meriamred oil, SG = 0.827. Use this information to estimatethe downstream position x of the pitot tube. Assumelaminar flow.
A tripod holding a nozzle, which directs a 5-cmdiameter stream of water from a hose, is shown. The nozzle mass is 10 kg when filled with water. The tripod is rated to provide 1800 N of holding force. A firefighter was standing 60 cm behind the nozzle and was hit by the nozzle when the tripod suddenly failed and released the nozzle. You have been hired as an accident reconstructionist and, after testing the tripod, have determined that as water flow rate increased, it did collapse at 1800 N. In your final report you must state the water velocity and the flow rate consistent with the failure and the nozzle velocity when it hit the firefighter. For simplicity, ignore pressure and momentum effects in the upstream portion of the hose
