The spin cycle of a clothes washer extracts the water in clothing by greatly increasing the water's apparent weight so that it is efficiently squeezed through the clothes and out the holes in the drum. In a top loader's spin cycle, the 35-cm-diameter drum spins at 1100 rpm around a vertical axis. Part A What is the apparent weight of a 1.2 g drop of water? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

A vertical, circular cross sectional jet of water leaves a nozzle with diameter, d, as shown in Figure 4. The volume flow rate of the water is equal to Q. The water jet strikes a conical deflector and the force of the water jet suspends the conical deflector at height H above the nozzle. The weight of the conical deflector is given by W. The water jet spreads uniformly on the surface of the conical deflector, as shown in the figure. (a) Determine the velocity of the water jet prior to striking the conical deflector in term of Q, d and H? Calculate H, given Q= 0.005 m³/s, d= 20 mm, W= 15.0 N and 0=45° . (Ь) 20 H Figure 4
. A system consisting of a large boat and all its contents. The boat's engine was not started and it floated on the surface of the sea. No matter enters and exits the boat while the procedure occurs. Are the following statements true or false? Explain why?a. The system is not in equilibrium because in equilibrium there are no external forces acting on the system but here the boat has external forces acting on it.b. The system is not in equilibrium because there is gravity acting on it but there is no upward force to balance it with downward gravity. The system is in steady statedetermined because it is not moving.c. The system is said to be stable and balanced because the boat is not moving and there is no driving force to make it move: the forces acting on it are balanced resulting in no impetus for change.d. The given system is neither in equilibrium nor stable because on the sea surface there is no completely stationary object. The boat will rise and fall with each wave and can…

State Newton's three laws of motion. a. b. Show that Newton's first law of motion is a special case of the second law. c. Consider a pulley system in Figure 4. M and M2 are connected by a massless inelastic string. M2 however is connected to a solid sphere of mass M, by a thin rigid rod with negligible mass M, is immersed in a tank of water and the buoyance force acting on M, is Fe. Suppose M;>M2. and Ms is sliding down from the top of the incline. Find the time T and velocity V of m; when it reaches the bottom of the incline. The length and the angle of the incline are Land e. You may assume that the frictional force between the immersed sphere and water is negligibly small. The pulley is massless and frictionless.and the incline is friction free. water
