Chapter 1, Problem 4P
Very small particles moving in fluids are known to experience a drag force proportional to speed. Consider a particle of net weight W dropped in a fluid. The particle experiences a drag force, FD = kV, where V is the particle speed. Determine the time required for the particle to accelerate from rest to 95 percent of its terminal speed, Vt, in terms of k, W, and g.

The pilot of a Boeing 767 determines that a total of 22,300 kilograms of jet fuel is needed to fly from Montreal to Edmonton. A floatstick check finds that there is 11,549 litres of fuel already in the tanks. How much fuel, expressed in litres, must be added to the tanks?
The density of jet fuel varies with temperature. For the prevailing conditions take the density of the jet fuel to be 0.803 kg/L or equivalently 1.77 lb/L.

- 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, Ah (in mm), of a column of water 1.5 km high for a temperature increase of 1.2 °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 warming is not uniform with depth. Properties of water: 3 = 210 x 10 /C. c= 4186 J/kg - °C, L; = 334 kJ/kg, Le = 2256 kJ/kg Enter you answer below (to the nearest mm): Ah (in mm) = Type your answer.arrow_forwardIn the aftermath of typhoon Yolanda, relief goods were dropped from helicopters hovering above isolated islands.

The string is attached to a post and is free to rotate. The string can be assumed to be weightless and not stretch. The ball is spun around the post in the horizontal plane (so gravity is perpendicular to the string and direction of motion) at a rate of 2π radians per second and that is slowing down by .2 rad/s^2.
