Chapter 8, Problem 8.15P
On March 16, 1990, an Air Force SR-71 set a new continental speed record, averaging a velocity of 2112 mi/h at an altitude of 80,000 ft. Calculate the temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) at a stagnation point on the vehicle.

A cylindrical pin made from 1010 steel and a diameter of 0.188 inches is partially placed in a bushing as seen in the image. The bushing is rigid and does not move.
If a 50 lb weight is dropped on the 0.2 inch end of the pin, how high up does the weight have to be dropped from to cause the pin to yield?

A pressurized tank of water has a 10-cm-diameter orifice at the bottom, where water discharges to the atmosphere. The water level is
2.5 m above the outlet. The tank air pressure above the water level is 250 kPa (absolute), while the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa.
Neglecting frictional effects, determine the initial discharge rate of water from the tank. (Round the final answer to three decimal
places.)

A 3-m-high large tank is initially filled with water. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter
orifice at the bottom drains to the atmosphere through a horizontal 80-m-long pipe. The total irreversible head loss of the system is
determined to be 1.500 m. In order to drain the tank faster, a pump is installed near the tank exit. Determine the pump head input
necessary to establish an average water speed of 6.5 m/s when the tank is full. Disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction
factors. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
