Find the frontal area of the car in SI unit and U.S. Customary unit.
Answer to Problem 50P
The frontal area of the car in inches is
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The height of the car
The width of the car
Formula used:
Formula to calculate the frontal area of the car is,
Here,
Calculation:
Total frontal area:
Formula to calculate the total frontal area of the car is,
Here,
Substitute
Area of the squares in which the parts of the car is not touched:
Refer to the figure 7.50, the height and width of the car is divided as slots. Therefore,
For 1 slot, the height (h) is:
For 1 slot, the width (w) is:
From the figure 7.50, approximately the total number of slots which is not touching the parts of car is 48.
Formula to calculate the area of the squares which is not touched by the parts of car is,
Here,
Substitute
Substitute
The SI unit of the frontal area of the car is,
The U.S. Customary unit of the frontal area of the car is,
Therefore, the frontal area of the car in SI unit and U.S. Customary unit is
Conclusion:
Thus, the frontal area of the car in SI unit, U.S. Customary unit and in inches is

- Based on the figure, calculate the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components of the force that the fluid exerts on the curved surface. Also calculate the magnitude of the resulting force and its direction. The surface measures 5.00 feet in length.arrow_forwardAs we explained in Chapter 10, viscosity is a measure of how easily a fluid flows. For example, honey has a higher value of viscosity than does water because if you were to pour water and honey side by side on an inclined surface, the water will flow faster. The viscosity of a fluid plays a significant role in the analysis of many fluid dynamics problems. The viscosity ofwater can be determined from the following correlation:μ = c1 10c2 1(T−c3 )whereμ = viscosity (N/s.m2 )T = temperature (K)c1=2.414×10-5 (N/s.m2 ) c2= 247.8 K c3= 140 KUsing Excel, create a table that shows the viscosity of water as a function oftemperature in the range of 0° C (273 15 ) to 100° C (373 15 ) in increments of 5° C.
