- In an oil pool, a small steel ball is released from the surface (y=0) without initial velocity. The strength of the resistance force exerted by the oil against the movement of the ball is directly proportional to the speed of the ball (Fd = k*V , k: constant). Neglect the buoyant force exerted by the oil. (m = 0.2kg, k = 0.843550 kg/s, g = 9.81 m/s^2). a-) What is the limit speed of ball ( Vlim)? b-) What is the time it takes for the speed of the ball to reach 99% of the limit speed after it is released from the surface? c-) What is the depth at which the ball's velocity reaches 99% of the limit velocity after it is released from the surface?arrow_forwardWater flows between two parallel plates.

In the regions far from the entrance, fluid flow through a circular pipe is one-dimensional, and the velocity profile for laminar flow is given by u(r) = Umax (1- r/R), where R is the radius of the pipe, r is the radial distance from the center of the pipe, and umax is the maximum flow velocity, which occurs at the centerline.
