Continuation of Problem 8. Now assume that Eq. 6-14 gives the magnitude of the air drag force on the typical 20 kg stone, which presents to the wind a vertical cross-sectional area of 0.040 m2 and has a drag coefficient C of 0.80. Take the air density to be 1.21 kg/m3, and the coefficient of kinetic friction to be 0.80. (a) In kilometers per hour, what wind speed V along the ground is needed to maintain the stone’s motion once it has started moving? Because winds along the ground are retarded by the ground, the wind speeds reported for storms are often measured at a height of 10 m. Assume wind speeds are 2.00 times those along the ground. (b) For your answer to (a), what wind speed would be reported for the storm? (c) Is that value reasonable for a high-speed wind in a storm? (Story continues with Problem 65.)

- When an object slides on a surface, it encounters a resistance force called friction. This force has a magnitude of uN, is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the magnitude of the normal force that the surface applies to the object. Suppose an object of mass 30 kg is released from the top of an inclined plane that is inclined 60° to the horizontal. Assume the gravitational force is constant, air resistance is negligible, and the coefficient of kinetic friction p = 0.2. Determine the equation of motion for the object as it slides down the plane. If the top surface of the plane is 8 m long, what is the velocity of the object when it reaches the bottom?

The height and width of the car are 1.25 m and 1.65 m, respectively. If the horizontal force acting on the car is measured to be 220 N, determine the total drag coefficient of this car.arrow_forwardAn airplane in flight is subject to an air resistance force proportional to the square of its speed v. But there is an additional resistive force because the airplane has wings. Air flowing over the wings is pushed down and slightly forward, so from Newton’s third law the air exerts a force on the wings and airplane that is up and slightly backward. The upward force is the lift force that keeps the airplane aloft, and the backward force is called induced drag. At flying speeds, induced drag is inversely proportional to v 2 , so that the total air resistance force can be expressed by Fair = av2 + b/v2 where a and b are positive constants that depend on the shape and size of the airplane and the density of the air. For a Cessna 150, a small single-engine airplane, a = 0.30 N.s2 /m2 and b = 3.5×105 N.m2 /s 2 . In steady flight, the engine must provide a forward force that exactly balances the air resistance force. 1. Calculate the speed (in km/h) at which this airplane will have the…arrow_forward
