Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 60P
Your favorite professor likes mountain climbing, so there is always a possibility that the professor may fall into a crevasse in some glacier. If that happened today, and the professor was trapped in a slowly moving glacier, you are curious to know whether the professor would reappear at the downstream drop-off of the glacier during this academic year. Assuming ice is a Newtonian fluid with the density of glycerine but a million times as viscous, you decide to build a glycerin model and use dimensional analysis and similarity to estimate when the professor would reappear. Assume the real glacier is 15 m deep and is on a slope that falls 1.5 m in a horizontal distance of 1850 m. Develop the dimensionless parameters and conditions expected to govern dynamic similarity in this problem. If the model professor reappears in the laboratory after 9.6 hours, when should you return to the end of the real glacier to provide help to your favorite professor?

The hobby of one of your popular lecturers is mountain climbing. Of course, in this case, there is always the possibility of this lecturer falling into a crack in the mountain glacier. If this accident happened today and the lecturer was caught in a slowly moving glacier, you would wonder when your teacher will reach the lower end of the glacier and whether he will be able to catch up with the lectures/finals at the end of this academic term. Assuming that ice is a Newtonian fluid, and considering that it is approximately the density of glycerin but a million times more viscous, you decide to build a model and experiment using glycerin. Therefore, with the help of dimensional analysis and similarity, you will be able to predict when the lecturer will return from the glacier. Consider that the actual glacier is at a depth of 15 m and on a mountain slope that loses a height of 1.5 m at 1850 m horizontally. Construct the terms (function) dimensionless parameters to include dynamic…
After years of asking, you finally were allowed to go on a joy ride in your uncle’s 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. A notable feature of this vehicle is the gullwing door design that opens from a hinge at the top of the car. Unfortunately, you are having so much fun driving the car that you end up submerged in a fresh water lake. You sink to the bottom of the lake, which has a depth of 10 m. For the sake of simplicity, you can model the door as a 1 m × 1 m square plate, inclined at 45° relative to the floor of the lake. Neglect the weight of the door and friction in the hinge. How much force will be required to open the door, assuming you push from its geometric center?

- An easy experiment to estimate the density of a body is to weigh it in air and water. Consider a body of unknown density and volume. You weighed it in air, finding a value of 100 N. Then, using a special scale imported from the United States, you weighed the object submerged in water, finding a value of 5.6 lbf. Based on these results, find the density and volume of the object. Remember that the scale measures the result of the balance of forces on the body (or the sum of the forces). Show this balance of forces (or force diagram) on the body during your solving. Express the result in units of the International System and the American System of Engineering, and show any unit conversion calculations using the conversion factor.

The pressure is supposed to be 330 kPa (absolute) but you measure it to be 290 kPa. Due to driving, the temperature of the air in the tires when they are filled is 50 °C. You add air to the desired pressure value for your tires and keep driving. The next morning, the air in the tires has equilibrated to San Francisco morning temperatures of 10 °C, and your car still says the tire pressure is low. Assume the tire volume to be fixed. Take C₂ = 1.005 kJ/kg-K and C₂ = 0.718 kJ/kg-K, T = 132 K, and Pc = 3.77 MPa.

- Your least favorite professor likes mountain climbing and plans to do some during Winter Break. There is always the possibility (hope?) he will fall into a crevasse in some glacier. If that happened, you wonder if he would reappear before the end of the academic year. Assume the The distance from the crevasse field to the end of the trailhead where discovery is likely is 1850 m. You decide to build a 1/500 glycerin model to see if you might have to deal with the professor again before the end of the year. Ice has approximately the density of glycerin, but its viscosity is 1,000 times greater. Using your scale model, your model professor reappears after 9.6 hours. When would the real professor reappear?arrow_forwardSeawater has a density of 1030 kg/m3. You are designing a deep sea submersible that has a volume of 17 m3 and is shaped like a sphere. If the walls of the submersible are made out of stainless steel with a density of 7700 kg/m3 , how thick should the walls be to create a neutrally buoyant submersible?arrow_forwardGlobal warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length, Ah (in mm), of a column of water 1.5 km high for a temperature increase of 1.2 °C.Assume the column is not free to expand sideways. As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean warming is not uniform with depth. Properties of water: 3 = 210 x 10 /C. c= 4186 J/kg - °C, L; = 334 kJ/kg, Le = 2256 kJ/kg Enter you answer below (to the nearest mm): Ah (in mm) = Type your answer.arrow_forward
