A 45 grams (0.045 kg) golf ball of diameter equal to 43 mm fell into a 2m deep lake. Neglect inertia at the moment of impact. Assume viscosity of 1.12x10-3 Ns/m2 , water density of 1,000 kg/m3 and Cd=0.5. Sphere volume equals 4π r³ /3.
1. How long will it take from the moment it hits the surface until it gets to the bottom?
2. If one estimates the Cd with Cd=24/Re formula, the settling velocity would be unrealistically large. Why?
Determine the density of a sample of natural gas of specific gravity 0.65 at a standard temperature and pressure (60and 14.7 psi)? Note that the density of air of 60 and 14.7 psi is 0.0764 lb/ft3.
Balloons are often filled with helium gas because it weighs only about one-seventh of what air weighs under identical conditions. The buoyancy force, which can be expressed as Fb = ? airgVballoon, will push the balloon upward. If the balloon has a diameter of 12 m and carries two people, 70 kg each Using appropriate software, investigate the effect of the number of people carried in the balloon on acceleration. Plot the acceleration against the number of people, and discuss the results Assume the density of air is ? =1.16kg/m3, and neglect the weight of the ropes and the cage
