Q3. Swimming robots – Two friends, Alex and Barbara, are having a friendly competition: who can build the fastest swimming "robot". The robot should be very rudimentary: the body should be a simple potato and both friends are only allowed to add a propulsion mechanism at the end. Alex is a big fan of fish, and therefore bases his roboť's swimming mechanism on the tail of a fish: He attaches a paddle to a motor, which rapidly changes the angle of the paddle from side to side. Barbara, on the other hand, was inspired by flagellar propulsion and decided to attach a corkscrew to a motor which rotates it along its axis, as depicted. Alex Barbara a) If the race is done in water, who should win the race? Explain. b) If the race is done is honey, who should win the race? Explain.

A1) Floodgates, also known as stop gates, are adjustable gates that restrict the flow of water in flood barriers, reservoirs, rivers, and stream systems. Floodgates prevent river water from backing up into cities during high water levels. 5 m 160° B Figure 1: Floodgate As an aerospace engineer with a solid foundation in fluid mechanics, you would like to propose a temporary design solution to mitigate the damage or disruption of a nearby airport runway flood. The floodgate is 3 m wide and 5 m long, with a solid gate (AB) hinged at point B and restrained by a force-pulley mechanism at point A. The value of mass P is 2500 kg. Assume the density of water is 1000 kg/m. a) Draw the free body diagram of the floodgates system. b) Calculate the depth of water assuming this rectangular gate is in equilibrium, ignoring the weight of the gate. c) Repeat the calculation as in (a), including the weight of the 5-cm-thick steel (SG = 7.8) gate. d) Suppose the length of the gate AB is doubled; what…

2.2 A metal block is riding a conveyor as it travels through a tunnel type furnace and is subjected to a gradually increasing temperature. With respect to speed of travel, the surrounding temperature of the metal block (i.e. the furnace interior) increases by: T = 50°C + 10°C/min. Where, T furnace temperature in °C. 50°C is the atmospheric temperature at the furnace entry. Draw your best guess of the metal temperature vs. time on a graph for 60 min. from start.

1. You are setting up for a pool party that has a 2.5 m high slide that launches swimmers into the pool. To make it more exciting, you decide to string a steamer across the pool so that the swimmers just clear it at their maximum height after leaving the slide. The end of the slide is 0.75 m above the ground and is directed 20° above the horizontal. By watching people use the slide, you know the horizontal distance to place the streamer, so you only need to determine the maximum height. You are also curious how fast the swimmers are going when they enter the pool. In your estimates, you can assume that the swimmer starts at rest at the top of the slide and ignore friction on the slide and air resistance. 2.5 m 0.75 m streamer If the angle of the slide were different (say 15°) would either the maximum height or the speed when entering the water be different? Note: Use conservation of energy to answer these questions.
6.2 In class we noted that the potential energy of a spring is given by Vsp (2) and k the spring constant. Now consider an object of mass m (not attached to the spring) that drops from rest, from a height z; > z0; onto the spring (which is initially in equilibrium at its rest length). Both the gravitational force and the spring force now contribute to the potential energy, initial final k(z – zo)²/2, where zo is the spring's equilibrium point E Zo Z=0 Vgrav Vgrav + Vsp if z z0 V (2) = (1) (a) Sketch (by hand, but carefully) a potential energy diagram for V(2) as a function of height z. (b) Include (and mark) the object's initial energy in the sketch of part (a), then include a horizontal line for the object's conserved total energy E. Also mark the turning point zf for z < zO. (c) Calculate the turning point position zf where the object momentarily comes to rest." (d) Your graph of part (a) should have an equilibrium point. Mark this equilibrium point in your graph, then calculate its…
