- . I am planning to perform some volume-flow rate measurements in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory. For this, I need a volumetric measuring tank (graduated cylinder) and a stopwatch. I considered the volume of the measured tank as 15 gallons and a stopwatch with reaction time as 1/10th of a second (though resolution of 1/1000th of a second). What is the volume flow rate if it takes 5 minutes to fill a 15-gallon of tank? Determine the smallest division to be on the tank in order to estimate the volume flow rate within an accuracy of ± 0.05 gpm.arrow_forwardThe elevations of the ski jumping hill shown below are as follows: hA = 37 mhB = 2.4 mhC = 5.5 m If the velocity of a ski jumper is measured to be 25.3 m/s at position B, what will be the launch velocity (in m/s) at position C [round your final answer to one decimal place]?arrow_forwardMechanical Engineering The following table shows the kinetic energy and potential energy according to the speed of an object descending along a frictionless rain surface.

These velocity data are stored and analyzed via an embedded curve fitting procedure to determine a velocity function of v(t) = 1.5t2 + 2t + 2 (t is time in seconds and v is velocity in ft/s). At time equal 0, position (x) is zero. Find her position (e.g., distance traveled), velocity and acceleration formulations and values of each when time equals 15 seconds. Clearly write the formulas before finding respective values at t = 15 seconds!arrow_forward
- As we explained in earlier chapters, the air resistance to the motion of a vehicle is something important that engineers investigate. The drag force acting on a car is determined experimentally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. The air speed inside the tunnel is changed, and the drag force acting on the car is measured. For a given car, the experimental data generally is represented by a single coefficient that is called drag coefficient. It is defined by the following relationship: F, where air resistance for a car that has a listed C, = drag coefficient (unitless) measured drag force (N) drag coefficient of 0.4 and width of 190 cm and height of 145 cm. Vary the air speed in the range of 15 m/sarrow_forwardIn medical literatures, local blood perfusion rate is typically presented as xx ml/(min 100g tissue), in another word, it represents xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue mass of 100 g per minute to satisfy its nutritional needs. As we learned from the course lectures, the local blood perfusion rate appearing in the Pennes bioheat equation is in a unit of 1/s, or can be interpreted as xx ml of blood supplied to a tissue volume of 1 ml per second. The following lists the blood perfusion rates in various organs or structures in a human body from medical textbooks: brain (50 ml/(min 100g tissue)), kidney (35 ml/(min 100g tissue)), and muscle at rest (3 ml/(min 100g tissue)). Please convert the above local blood perfusion rates into values with the unit of 1/s, therefore, they can be used in the Pennes bioheat equation. The tissue density in a human body is 1050 kg/m³.arrow_forwardQ1/ The figure below shows such an LSPB trajectory, where the maximum velocity V 60 deg/sec. In this case, the times are given as t.= 5 sec and t 30 sec. In addition, the joint angles in beginning and the ending q=20 deg and qf = 70 deg , respectively. For these required data , determine the following : 1- The position function and its profile. 2- The velocity function and its profile. 3- The acceleration function and its profile. 4- The function of jerk variable and what is the nature of jerk? 5- The position, velocity, and acceleration at tm-13 sec. te tm ty te ty tarrow_forwardQ1. The image below shows an example of "absolute dependent motion analysis", where the motions of two objects depend on each other, and the goal is to find the relations in their motions (i.e., in their positions, velocities, and accelerations). Please put the suggested steps of analysis in the correct order. VA A B VB Differentiate the entire equation with respect to time, and extract the relation in velocities. Repeat for acceleration if needed. Set up a coordinate (s) along the direction of motion from a fixed point (O) or a fixed datum line. Represent the positions of the objects respectively. In some cases intermediate objects need to be considered too and their positions need to be represented as well. Recognize the constant length(s) and find the depending geometric relations between the position variables.arrow_forwardYou are designing a spherical tank to hold water for a small village.

The Fanning friction factor is represented by another dimensionless number, the Reynolds number (Re).It depends on the diameter of the pipe and some parameters related to the fluid. An equation that can predict f given the Reynolds number is given as follows. If Re =4000, e/D=0.01 in this equation, find the value of f using the Simple Iteration method by taking f0=0.1 as the initial value for the solution (ԑ=0.0001)arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
