Fluid Dynamics

The study of the flow of gases and liquids, usually in and around solid surfaces, is known as fluid dynamics in physics and engineering. Fluid dynamics, for example, can be used to evaluate the movement of air through an airplane wing or the surface of a…

7. An automobile weighing 1455 kg traverses a 458 m curve at a constant speed of 48 kph. Assume no banking on the curve, find the force acting on the tires necessary to maintain motion along the curve.

A block of mass m, lies on the floor of an elevator cab of mass m, that is being pulled upward by a cable through a distance d. During this displacement, if the normal force on the block from the cab's floor has constant magnitude FN, how much work is done on the elevator cab by the force T from the cable (W, )? Express your answer in terms of m, m2, FN, and d. T m. Select one: W= Fyd(1 - m) W, Fyd( ) |3D Fyd(1 +m) %3D End(im

Consider a ball rolling around in a circular path on the inner surface of a cone. The weight of the ball is shown by the vector W. Without friction, only one other force acts on the ball—a normal force, (a) Draw in the vector for the normal force. (The length of the vector depends on the next step, b.) (b) Using the parallelogram rule, show that the resultant of the two vectors is along the radial direction of the ball’s circular path. (Yes, the normal is appreciably larger than the weight!)
