Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 12P
The English perfected the longbow as a weapon after the Medieval period. In the hands of a skilled archer, the longbow was reputed to be accurate at ranges to 100 m or more. If the maximum altitude of an arrow is less than h = 10 m while traveling to a target 100 m away from the archer, and neglecting air resistance, estimate the speed and angle at which the arrow must leave the bow. Plot the required release speed and angle as a function of height h.

and a burnout mass of 1.07 x 104 kg, including engines, shell and payload. The rocket blasts off from
Earth and exhausts all its fuel in 3.86 min, burning the fuel at a steady rate with an exhaust velocity of ve
= 4.16 x 10³ m/s.
(a) If air friction and gravity are neglected, what is the speed of the rocket at burnout?

He plans to face the box-enclosed fan so that the air blast is directed face down through a 1 m diameter balde span area. The system weighs 2.3 kgf, and the student will secure the system from rotating. By increasing the power to the fan, he plans to increase the blade rpm and air exit velocity until the exhaust provides sufficient upward force to cause the drone to hover in the air. Determine (a) the air exit velocity to lift the drone, (b) the volumetric flow rate needed, and (c ) the minimum mechanical power that must be supplied to the airstream.

A B C D E A. B It is a direct result of mass & momentum conservation B. If we double the diameter of a wind turbine and every other aspect of its design, hypothetically, stays the same, what is the expected effect on its rated power? C. It is due to the effect of turbulence It is a direct result of momentum conservation D. It is due to the slow-down of the wind on the blades E. It is because of the unsteady flow over the blades it is due to the rotation axis of the wind turbine, horizontal vs vertical Will stay the same Will be halved Will increase in a cubic way Will double Will quadruple E. It will quadruple. Power is proportional to the area so if the diameter goes up by a factor of 2 the power will go up 4 times.arrow_forwardA package is dropped from a height h.
