Suppose you wish to whirl a pail full of water in a vertical circle at a constant speed without spilling any of its contents (even at the top of the circle!). If your arm is 0.65 m long (from shoulder to fist) and the distance from the handle to the surface of the water is 17 cm, what minimum speed is required?

A 76.0-kg boulder is rolling horizontally at the top of vertical cliff that is 20 m above the surface of a lake, as shown in the figure above. The top of the vertical face of a dam is located 100 m from the foot of the cliff, with the top of the dam level with the surfaceof the water in the lake. A level plain is 25 m below the top of the dam. (a) What must be the minimum speed of the rock just as it leaves the cliff so it will travel to the plain without striking the dam? (b) How far from the foot of the dam does the rock hit the plain?

Water 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°.
Global warming is a cause for concern because even small changes in the Earth’s temperature can have significant consequences. For example, if the Earth’s polar ice caps were to melt entirely, the resulting additional water in the oceans would flood many coastal areas. Model the polar ice as havingmass 2.30 × 1019 kg and forming two flat disks of radius 6.00 × 105 m. Assume the water spreads into an unbroken thin, spherical shell after it melts. Calculate the resulting change in the duration of one day both in seconds and as a percentage.

A circular hovercraft, of weight Mg, hovers a distance h above the ground, as shown in Figure P4.47. Far from the inlet the air is at atmospheric pressure and may be considered stationary. The air density remains constant throughout. The expansion downstream of the fan occurs without loss, and the exit streamlines are parallel to the ground. Find h in terms of the inlet velocity Vi , the diameter of the fan d, the diameter of the exit plane D, the density ρ and the weight Mg. Assume one-dimensional flow over the entry and exit areas.
