- A space station, in the form of a wheel 120 m in diameter, rotates to provide an artificial gravity of 3.00 m/s2 for persons who walk around on the inner wall of the outer rim. Find the rate of the wheels rotation in revolutions per minute that will produce this effect.arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding If atmospheric resistance is neglected find the maximum height for the mortar shell. Is calculus required for this solution?arrow_forwardThe “mean” orbital radius listed for astronomical objects orbiting the Sun is typically not an integrated average but is calculated such that it gives the correct period when applied to the equation for circular orbits. Given that, what is the mean orbital radius in terms of aphelion and perihelion?arrow_forward
- Estimate the radius (mm) of a spherical particle of density 1789 kg/m³ that reaches a distance of 683 km if it was ejected at a height 1200 meters from Busay to a final height 16.93 km into the atmosphere the mean wind speed through the atmospheric layer is 26.84 m/s. Viscosity and density of air are 1.923 x 10-5 kg/m-s and 1.301 kg/m³, respectively. Express your final answer in 4 decimal places.arrow_forwardWater enters a two-armed lawn sprinkler along the vertical axis at a rate of 75 L/s, and leaves the sprinkler nozzles as 2-cm diameter jets at an angle of ? from the tangential direction, as shown. The length of each sprinkler arm is 0.52 m. Disregarding any frictional effects, determine the rate of rotation n. of the sprinkler in rev/min for (a) ? = 0°, (b) ? = 30°, and (c) ? = 60°.arrow_forward▷ > The horizontal Velocity of wind against sail = 5.7 m/s. along the front surface, 3.2 m/s back surface.

- (a) A sphere made of rubber has a density of 1.18 g/cm³ and a radius of 9.00 cm. It falls through air of density 1.20 kg/m³ and has a drag coefficient of 0.500. What is its terminal speed (in m/s)? 63.8 At terminal speed, what is the acceleration? How are the weight and drag force related? How is drag related to speed, air density, and cross sectional area? Watch units when doing calculations with densities. m/s (b) From what height (in m) would the sphere have to be dropped to reach this speed if it fell without air resistance? marrow_forwardThe terminal velocity of a copper ball of radius 2.0 mm falling througha tank of oil at 20 oC is 6.5 cm s-1. Compute the viscosity of the oil at 20 oC. Density of oil is 1.5 ×103 kg m-3. density of copper is 8.9 × 103 kg m-3.arrow_forwardA truck containing a half-filled tank goes up to a ramp which forms 15o from the horizontal. What would be the angle formed by the liquid from its initial state when the truck traveled 100m in 4s from an initial speed of 10 m/s?arrow_forward
- When a pilot takes a tight turn at high speed in a modern fighter airplane, the blood pressure at the brain level decreases, blood no longer perfuses the brain, and the blood in the brain drains. If the heart maintains the (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in the aorta at 120 torr (or mm Hg) when the pilot undergoes a horizontal centripetal acceleration of 4g, what is the blood pressure (in torr) at the brain, 30 cm radially inward from the heart? The perfusion in the brain is small enough that the vision switches to black and white and narrows to “tunnel vision” and the pilot can undergo g-LOC (“ginduced loss of consciousness”). Blood density is 1.06 * 10^3 kg/m3arrow_forward(4) Consider a drop of liquid on a surface as shown in the figure. Note that the contact angle is less than pi/2. ///// (a) Find an expression for the maximum height of this drop given the surface tension and contact angle. Use unit analysis to check your answer. (b) If the liquid is Methylene iodide (density 3.32 g/cm³) on soda-lime glass (contact angle 29°), find the maximum height.arrow_forwardStokes law can be used to determine the viscosity of a fluid by dropping a spherical object in it and measuring the terminal velocity of the object in that fluid. This can be done by plotting the distance traveled against time and observing when the curve becomes linear. During such an experiment a 3-mm-diameter glass ball (r = 2500 kg/m3) is dropped into a fluid whose density is 875 kg/m3, and the terminal velocity is measured to be 0.12 m/s. Disregarding the wall effects, determine the viscosity of the fluid.arrow_forward
