Chapter 1, Problem 6P

In a pollution control experiment, minute solid particles (typical mass 1 × 10−13 slug) are dropped in air. The terminal speed of the particles is measured to be 0.2 ft/s. The drag of these particles is given by FD = kV, where V is the instantaneous particle speed. Find the value of the constant k. Find the time required to reach 99 percent of terminal speed.

A stationary object in a flow of speed 27 m/s produces a drag force of 13 N. The flow speed is then changed to 25 m/s. What will be the drag force if the Drag Coefficient and density are assumed constant? Give your answer in Newtons to 2 decimal places.
A spherical rain drop of diameter D falls at its terminal velocity V in air of density ρa and viscosity µa. The raindrop has a drag coefficient given by where FD is the drag force acting on the drop and Re is the Reynolds number based on the drop diameter. What is V when ρa = 1.2 kg/m3 , µa = 18 × 10−6 N.s/m2 , and the density of water ρw = 1000 kg/m3 ? The volume of a sphere is given by πD3/6. State all your assumptions.  
Sparky is on the university speed ice skating team. When crossing the finish line Sparky wants to show off and come across the finish line on one skate with a velocity of 35 ft/sec (V). Sparky weighs 150 lbf. Sparky’s weight is supported by a thin liquid film of water melted by the pressure of the skate blade. If the blade is 13 inches long and 0.125 inches wide estimate Sparky’s deceleration resulting from viscous shear in a water film of thickness of 0.0000575 inches (h). Neglect all end effects. Evaluate all properties at 32°F. Suggest creating a simple schematic of the problem using V, h, and the viscous shear stress (not required).
