Chapter 1, Problem 1.2CP

When a person ice skates, the surface of the ice actually melts beneath the blades, so that he or she skates on a thin sheet of water between the blade and the ice.

(a) Find an expression for total friction force on the bottom of the blade as a function of skater velocity V, blade length L, water thickness (between the blade and the ice) h, water viscosity μ , and blade width W.

(b) Suppose an ice skater of total mass m is skating along at a constant speed of V0when she suddenly stands stiff with her skates pointed directly forward, allowing herself to coast to a stop. Neglecting friction due to air resistance, how far will she travel before she comes to a stop? (Remember, she is coasting on two skate blades.) Give your answer for the total distance traveled, x, as a function of V0, m, L, h, μ , and W.

(c) Find x for the case where V0= 4.0 m/s, m = 100 kg, L = 30 cm, W = 5.0 mm, and h = 0.10 mm. Do you think our assumption of negligible air resistance is a good one?

As measured by NASA’s Viking landers, the atmosphereof Mars, where g ≈ 3.71 m/s 2 , is almost entirely carbondioxide, and the surface pressure averages 700 Pa. The temperatureis cold and drops off exponentially: T ≈ T o e - Cz ,where C = 1.3E-5 m - 1 and T o = 250 K. For example,at 20,000 m altitude, T ≈ 193 K. ( a ) Find an analyticformula for the variation of pressure with altitude.( b ) Find the altitude where pressure on Mars has droppedto 1 pascal.
Aiming a 1.69 in diameter garden hose straight up, forms a “bubbler fountain” that you could easily drink from (but you shouldn’t because of bacteria, etc.). The water flows out the hose and down the sides. If the water has a density of 63.1 lbm/ft^3 and a viscosity of 0.0119 g/cm*s, what is the thickness of the water film (df) (in cm) if the flow rate of water is 6.42 in^3/s? For simplicity, assume the film is thin enough that you can use rectangular coordinates.
= 1.006 m. Example 5.16. An open tank 10 m long and 2 m deep is filled with 1.5 m of oil of sp. gr. 0.82. The tank is accelerated uniformly from rest to a speed of 20 m/s. What is the shortest time in which this speed may be attained without spilling any oil?
