Cliff height. You are climbing in the high Sierra where you suddenly find yourself at the edge of a fog-shrouded cliff. To find the height of this cliff, you drop a rock from the top and 10 s later hear the sound of it hitting the ground at the foot of the cliff. Ignoring air resistance, how high is the cliff if the speed of the sound is 330 m/s?

Concept explainers

Free undamped vibrations

Whenever an object/system displaces in either side of its equilibrium position with the help of an external/internal means, then the object/system moves regularly or randomly on both sides of its equilibrium position. This motion is called vibration. Generally, there are three types of vibration: longitudinal vibration, transverse vibration, and torsional vibration.

The pilot of a Boeing 767 determines that a total of 22,300 kilograms of jet fuel is needed to fly from Montreal to Edmonton. A floatstick check finds that there is 11,133 litres of fuel already in the tanks. How much fuel, expressed in litres, must be added to the tanks? The density of jet fuel varies with temperature. For the prevailing conditions take the density of the jet fuel to be 0.803 kg/L or equivalently 1.77 lb/L.
7. Saul ascends from the city of Tucson, Arizona to the top of Kitt Peak, 2900 m above the sea level. Usually, Saul will feel his ears “pop” as the pressure inside his ears attempts to maintain the equilibrium with the surrounding air. However, on this day Saul has cold and his Eustachian tube is clogged, causing a tremendous pressure behind his 4.0×10^(-5) m^2 ear drum. What force does Saul feel pushing on his ears? (D_air=1.20 kg/m^3) a. 0.50 N b. 0.05 N c. 0.12 N d. 0.08 N e. None of the above

The weight of a star is usually balanced by two forces: the gravitational force, acting inward, and the force created by nuclear reaction, acting outward. Over a long period of time, the force due to nuclear reactions gets weaker, causing the gravitational collapse of the star and crushing atoms out of existence. Under such extreme conditions, protons and electrons are squeezed to form neutrons, giving birth to a neutron star. Neutron stars are massively heavy - a teaspoon of the substance of a neutron star would weigh 100 million metric tons on the Earth. a) Consider a neutron star whose mass is twice the mass of the Sun and whose radius is 13.3 km. (The mass of the Sun is 1.99-1030 kg.) If it rotates with a period of 2.57 s, what is the speed of a point on the Equator of this star?

Students are given two spherical balls made of different materials, but of identical mass and diameter to experiment with. Each ball is dropped from an initial height, h0. The “sad ball” comes to rest without visibly bouncing when it strikes the tabletop. The “happy ball” bounces up to a final height h, where h< h0 A fellow student wants to use one of the balls in a carnival game where cups are knocked over by a thrown ball. Which ball should they use, happy or sad? Why?

Sparky is on the university speed ice skating team. When crossing the finish line Sparky wants to show off and come across the finish line on one skate with a velocity of 35 ft/sec (V). Sparky weighs 150 lbf. Sparky’s weight is supported by a thin liquid film of water melted by the pressure of the skate blade. If the blade is 13 inches long and 0.125 inches wide estimate Sparky’s deceleration resulting from viscous shear in a water film of thickness of 0.0000575 inches (h). Neglect all end effects. Evaluate all properties at 32°F. Suggest creating a simple schematic of the problem using V, h, and the viscous shear stress (not required).
One of the strings of a bass viol is 0.640 m long and has a fundamental frequency of 165 Hz. What is the speed of waves on this string? When this string vibrates at its fundamental frequency, it causes the air in a nearby stopped organ pipe to vibrate at that pipe's fundamental frequency. The speed of sound in the pipe is 344 m/s. What is the length of this pipe?
A child takes a helium balloon on a plane from Denver (with an air pressure of 0.83 atm) on a cool day when the temperature is 20.0oC to Boston (at sea level, with an air pressure of 1.0 atm) where the temperature is 5.0oC. Assume that no gas escapes from the balloon during the flight. What is the volume of the balloon in Boston, relative to its size in Denver? Group of answer choices The volume in Boston is 0.79 times the volume in Denver. The volume in Boston is 0.20 times the volume in Denver. The volume in Boston is 0.87 times the volume in Denver The volume in Boston is 1.3 times the volume in Denver. The volume in Boston is the same as the volume in Denver.
A Pitot-static probe was used to measure the velocity distribution in a water tunnel. The two pressure lines from the probe were connected to a U-tube manometer which uses a liquid of specific gravity 1.7. The maximum velocity expected in the water tunnel was 2.3 m/s. Your job was to select an appropriate U-tube from a manufacturer which supplies manometers of different heights. The cost increases significantly with manometer height. Which of these should you purchase?
