A scientist prepares a test tube 10 cm from the axis of rotation in a centrifuge. The centrifuge starts at rest, and every second thereafter, the rotation rate of the centrifuge increases by 400 rpm, up to the maximum of 4000 rpm. Draw a scaled and labeled graph of the centrifugal force (in Newtons) vs. time on a particle of mass 0.01 grams inside the test tube, with data points for each second from 1 to 10. Explain how you know if your graph of force vs. time should be linear or parabolic.

A centrifuge is a device in which a small container of material is rotated at a high speed on a circular path. Such a device is used in medical laboratories, for instance, to cause the more dense red blood cells to settle through the less dense blood serum and collect at the bottom of the container. Suppose the centripetal acceleration of the sample is 4.87 x 10 times as large as the acceleration due to gravity. How many revolutions per minute is the sample making, if it is located at a radius of 5.18 cm from the axis of rotation? Number Units
A cart weighing 0.5 kg is drawn up a smooth 45° incline by a motor, M, winding up a cable. The force in the cable can be expressed as 5t² N, where t is in seconds. When t = 0, the displacement s = 0 and the initial velocity is 3 m/s. Find the cart's velocity when t = 2 seconds. > Draw a very clear FBD of the cart that you can use to write the equations of motion > Write the equations governing the cart's motion along the incline. Use axes parallel and perpendicular to the incline. Find the velocity requested
A mass of 1.25 kg stretches a spring 0.06 m. The mass is in a medium that exerts a viscous resistance of 66 N when the mass m has a velocity of 6 . The viscous resistance is proportional to the - S speed of the object. Suppose the object is displaced an additional 0.03 m and released. Find an function to express the object's displacement from the spring's natural position, in m after t seconds. Let positive m as the s2 displacements indicate a stretched spring, and use 9.8 acceleration due to gravity. u(t) = %3D
What is the volume of 92.4 grams of chlorine gas that is at a temperature of 46° C and a pressure of 694 mmHg? (Chlorine, R = 62.4 L- mm Hg/mole K and MW = 70.906 g/ mol) Computation: Show your Solution A lump of ice falls from an airplane as it comes into land. If the ice hits the ground with a vertical speed of 85m/s, what was the height of the plane when the ice fell off? (Assume that friction can be ignored.)
. I am planning to perform some volume-flow rate measurements in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory. For this, I need a volumetric measuring tank (graduated cylinder) and a stopwatch. I considered the volume of the measured tank as 15 gallons and a stopwatch with reaction time as 1/10th of a second (though resolution of 1/1000th of a second). What is the volume flow rate if it takes 5 minutes to fill a 15-gallon of tank? Determine the smallest division to be on the tank in order to estimate the volume flow rate within an accuracy of ± 0.05 gpm.
In medical literatures, local blood perfusion rate is typically presented as xx ml/(min 100g tissue), in another word, it represents xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue mass of 100 g per minute to satisfy its nutritional needs. As we learned from the course lectures, the local blood perfusion rate appearing in the Pennes bioheat equation is in a unit of 1/s, or can be interpreted as xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue volume of 1 ml per second. The following lists the blood perfusion rates in various organs or structures in a human body from medical textbooks: brain (50 ml/(min 100g tissue)), kidney (35 ml/(min 100g tissue)), and muscle at rest (3 ml/(min 100g tissue)). Please convert the above local blood perfusion rates into values with the unit of 1/s, therefore, they can be used in the Pennes bioheat equation. The tissue density in a human body is 1050 kg/m³.
In class, we used the 1967 gravity formula to derive the change in gravitational acceleration g with latitude, and we calculated the result at latitude o = 45°. Plot the rate of change of g with latitude () in units of mgal/km, from the equator to the pole (ø = 0° to ø = 90°). Be careful with the units; you will need to convert radians to km. (Recall that there are 27 radians in a full circle, 360°.) do

Data has been gathered from a lifting system used to transport engine parts. The system consists of a drum and cable. The following data was obtained when the drum lowers the load (assume constant acceleration). Drum diameter = 0.8m Mass of load = 3kg Initial velocitv = 0 m/s Time to descend = A secs 2. ( Distance travelled = 0.25m You have been asked to use this information to determine with 4 s.f. accuracy: Drum Cable a) The final linear velocity of the load b) The linear acceleration of the load Load c) The final angular velocity of the drum d) The angular acceleration of the drum e) The tension force in the cable f) The torque applied to the drum In determining the above quantities, you should clearly state the formulae used and apply dimensional analysis techniques to show that all values/units used are homogeneous.
