- During a bicep curl on a bicep curl machine, I'm curling a weight stack of 100 pounds (single arm...I'm jacked like that). At this very moment, the weight stack has a moment arm of 0.12m, my elbow has an angle of 63deg, my muscle force vector has an angle of 23deg, and it attaches 3cm below my elbow joint on my radius. How much force must my bicep create right at this moment to hold the weight stack in place?arrow_forwardQ.No.5: (a) Develop an equation by using pi-theorem for the shear stress in a fluid flowing in a pipe assuming that the stress is a function of the diameter and the roughness of the pipe, and the density, viscosity and velocity of the fluid. (b) A model of a torpedo is tested in a towing tank at a velocity of 24.4 m/s. The prototype is expected to attain a velocity of 246 m/min in 15.6°C water. (i) What model scale has been used? (ii) What would be the model speed it tested in a wind tunnel under a pressure of 290 psi and at constant temperature 26.77°C?arrow_forward5.5 An automobile has a characteristic length and area of 8 ft and 60 ft, respectively. When tested in sea-level standard air, it has the following measured drag force versus speed: V, mi/h: 20 40 60 Drag, Ibf. 31 115 249 The same car travels in Colorado at 65 mi/h at an altitude of 3500 m.

- Q.2. The force of impeller depends on the volumetric flowrate of fluid (Q) through the pipe of diameter (d) ,fluid density and viscosity , rotation of impeller (N). By using the dimensional analysis (Buckingham's Theorem), find the relation between the above parameters.arrow_forwardUnder a laminar flow, the liquid flows through small holes. It has a triangular cross-section, width b and length L, where the volumetric flow rate Q of the flow is a function of viscosity. ,pressure reduction per unit length p/L and width b 1) Use the PI theory to write the relationship as a dimensionless variable. 2) if the width b is doubled by viscosity And the pressure drop per unit length p/L is the same. I want to know how the flow rate Q will change.arrow_forward4. (a) Find a differential equation to model the velocity v of a falling mass m as a function of time. Assume that air resistance is proportional to the instantaneous velocity, with a constant of proportionality k > 0 (this is called the drag coefficient). Take the downward direction to be positive. (b) Solve the differential equation subject to the initial condition v(t = 0) = vo. (c) Determine the terminal velocity of the mass.arrow_forward
- In a nutshell, a smaller rock is propelled into the air as a huge counterweight in the back falls down, effectively converting gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy for the rock and the weight. But, since the rock is smaller.. it is propelled at a much faster velocity! Let's say we wanted to hurl a 50 kg boulder at a castle wall 100 meters away. Our wooden structure for the trebuchet is 10 meters tall, so that is the maximum distance the counterweight can fall. Assuming the launch angle is a perfect 45 degrees, and the boulder is released from ground level, derive the needed mass of the counterweight that will give the boulder enough kinetic energy to reach the base of the castle walls. You may assume no energy is "lost" due to friction, and ALL the counterweight's gravitational potential energy is converted into the boulder's kinetic enerqy. (HINT: You will need to employ 2D kinematics to find the needed final velocity, then use that final velocity in an energy equation…arrow_forwardAs shown in the following figure, vortices are shed from the rear of a bluff cylinder placed across a flow. The vortices alternately leave the top and bottom of the cylinder, causing an alternating force normal to the freestream velocity. The vortex shedding frequency, f, depends on the fluid density p, width of the cylinder d, freestream velocity V, and fluid viscosity u. (a) Use Buckingham Pi Theorem to develop a functional relationship for f. Use M, L, t as the primary dimensional. Use p, V, and d as the repeating parameters. (b) Vortex shedding occurs in standard air on two cylinders with a diameter ratio of 2. Determine the velocity ratio for dynamic similarity, and the ratio of vortex shedding frequencies. -Vortices Varrow_forwardPlease don't just answer it with the answer key from Beer's vector Mechanics.

- 1) The first man who studied and partially understood the kinematics of a particle falling in the earth's gravitational field was Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). He constructed an apparatus consisting of two vertical boards, hinged together on one side and covered with blotting paper on the inside faces. A leaking water tap lets drops fall down between the boards at presumably equal intervals of time. When a string is suddenly pulled, the boards are clapped together and the positions of the drops on the blotters can be inspected. Suppose that the vertical boards are 3 feet long and the leaking faucet is at such height and the rate of dropping is so regulated that when a drop is just coming out of the faucet, the next or second drop is just at the top of the boards and the sixth drop is at the bottom of the boards, while drops 3, 4 and 5 are between the boards. Calculate the number of drops leaving the faucet per second. ANS. 11.35 drops/secarrow_forwardA hot water leak in one of the faucets of your apartment can be very wasteful. A continuous leak of one quart per hour (a “slow” leak) at 155◦F causes a loss of 1.75 million Btu per year. Suppose your water is heated with electricity. Solve, a. How many pounds of coal delivered to your electric utility does this leak equate to if one pound of coal contains 12,000 Btu and the boiler combustion process and water distribution system have an overall efficiency of 30%? b). If a pound of coal produces 1.83 pounds of CO2 during the combustion process, how much extra carbon dioxide does the leaky faucet produce in a year?arrow_forwardP1.20 A baseball, with m = 145 g, is thrown directly upward from the initial position z = 0 and Vo = 45 m/s. The air drag on the ball is CV², as in Prob. 1.19, where C~ 0.0013 N: s*/m". Set up a differential equation for the ball motion, and solve for the instantaneous velocity V(t) and position z(1). Find the maximum height zmax reached by the ball, and compare your results with the classical case of zero air drag.arrow_forward
