A wind turbine with two or four hollow hemispherical cups connected to a pivot is commonly used to measure wind speed. Consider a wind turbine with four 8-cm-diameter cups with a center-to-center distance of 40 cm. The pivot is stuck as a result of some malfunction, and the cups stop rotating. For a wind speed of 15 m/s and air density of 1.25 kg/m3, determine the maximum torque this turbine applies on the pivot.

- Review. A mixing beater consists of three thin rods, each 10.0 cm long. The rods diverge from a central hub, separated from each other by 120, and all turn in the same plane. A ball is attached to the end of each rod. Each ball has cross-sectional area 4.00 cm2 and is so shaped that it has a drag coefficient of 0.600. Calculate the power input required to spin the beater at 1 000 rev/min (a) in air and (b) in water.arrow_forwardReview. A mixing beater consists of three thin rods, each 10.0 cm long.

You don't know what its internal structure looks like, but you plan to roll it down a ramp, as in this week's procedure. The ramp is 1 m long, and is elevated at an angle of 15°.

- In the figure, a small disk of radius r-3.00 cm has been glued to the edge of a larger disk of radius R-6.00 cm so that the disks lie in the same plane. The disks can be rotated around a perpendicular axis through point O at the center of the larger disk. The disks both have a uniform density (mass per unit volume) of 1.40 x 103 kg/m³ and a uniform thickness of 6.00 mm. What is the rotational inertia of the two-disk assembly about the rotation axis through O?

By how much is the wire elongated because of this weight?arrow_forwardYou have been warned to set up a ladder with its base about 1/4 of its length from the wall. However, since there are some things stored next to the wall you decide to ignore the advice and set the base of the ladder out half its length from the wall instead. The ladder is sitting on slippery old snow but It still feels safe when you start up to clear your gutters after a week of storms. After you climb on you have added your weight to the ladder. Which of these is a likely result? You go about halfway up, the bottom starts to slip away from the wall as you lean forward to hold on, the ladder rotates faster and falls down completely. You go up one rung and the base slips away from the wall. Nothing happens. It cannot slip once you are on it because your weight increases the friction. It slips a little when you first get on, so a friend adds weight to the base. Once you are near the top it is very stable and cannot slip.arrow_forward
- Josh has just raised a 2.5 kg bucket of water using a well’s winch when he accidentally lets go of the handle. The winch consists of a rope wrapped around a 3.0 kg, 4.0-cm-diameter cylinder, which rotates on an axle through the center. The bucket is released from rest 4.0 m above the water level of the well. How long does it take to reach the water?arrow_forwardA large SUV with mass m = 2.67 x 10^3 kg is at rest as shown in the figure. Both pistons have a circular cross-sectional area. Small piston has RS radius = 5.75 cm and the large piston has a radius RL = 20.5 cm. Determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the small piston.arrow_forwardGlobal warming is a cause for concern because even small changes in the Earth’s temperature can have significant consequences. For example, if the Earth’s polar ice caps were to melt entirely, the resulting additional water in the oceans would flood many coastal areas. Model the polar ice as havingmass 2.30 × 1019 kg and forming two flat disks of radius 6.00 × 105 m. Assume the water spreads into an unbroken thin, spherical shell after it melts. Calculate the resulting change in the duration of one day both in seconds and as a percentage.arrow_forward
