Chapter 7, Problem 7.62P

A sea-level smokestack is 52 m high and has a square cross section. Its supports can withstand a maximum side force of 90 kN. If the stack is to survive 90-mi/h hurricane winds, what is its maximum possible width?

A chimney at sea level is 2 m in diameter and 40 m high. When subjected to a storm with winds of 50 mi/h, what is the bending moment at the base due to the wind?
A jet aircraft weighs 150,000 N and has a wing area of 30 m2. Its drag polar is given by Cp = 0.015 +0.025C. The sea level thrust To is equal to 23,200 N, and the thrust at altitude is given by T = Too. The specific fuel consumption at sea level co is 1.2 N/Nh and, at altitude, c = coo. Determine (a) the most economical cruise altitude and (b) fuel load and cruise velocity for a Breguet range of 2500 km. [Answer: (a) 12.31 km and (b) 6030.0 N and 205.166 m/s.]
A truck experiencing drag is able to reach a maximum velocity of v₁ = 30.5 m/s. It has cross-sectional area A₁ = 1.6 m^2 and coefficient of drag CD,1 = 0.86. The city is having a parade and you want to use your truck as a float. After fitting your truck with signs and posters, the new cross-sectional area is A₂ = 3.3 m^2, and the coefficient of drag has increased to CD,2 = 1.38. What is the new maximum speed of your truck? Give your answer to 1 decimal place. Assume the density of air is 1.204 kg/m^3 and does not change, and assume the accelerating force provided by the engine does not change.
