(a)
Calculate the retarding force (in N) due to the viscosity of the air layer between a cart and a level air track given the following information—air temperature is 20°C, the cart is moving at 0.400 m/s, its surface area is 2.50 ✕ 10−2 m2, and the thickness of the air layer is 6.00 ✕ 10−5 m.
(b)
What is the ratio of this force to the weight of the 0.300 kg cart?
Figure 12-66 A hydrometer (Question 12-94).
A hydrometer consisting of a spherical bulb and cylindrical stem
floats first in water at 4°C (density 1.000 X 10' kg/m') and then
in alcohol (Figure 12-66). When in water, 9.0 cm of the hydrom-
eter stem is above the water surface, and when in alcohol, 2.0 cm
of the stem is above the surface. The total volume of the hydrom-
eter stem and bulb is 13.6 cm', and the cross-sectional area of the
stem is 0.40 cm'.
