Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 4P
Very small particles moving in fluids are known to experience a drag force proportional to speed. Consider a particle of net weight W dropped in a fluid. The particle experiences a drag force, FD = kV, where V is the particle speed. Determine the time required for the particle to accelerate from rest to 95 percent of its terminal speed, Vt, in terms of k, W, and g.

As time approaches infinity, notice that the net force decays toward 0 N, which tells us that the acceleration is also dropping to 0 m/s^2 (and so the velocity is leveling off to a terminal speed).

A truck has a drag coefficient based on frontal area of CD = 0.86. The truck has a mass of 12,750 kg and a frontal area of 10.5 m2. If the truck is traveling at constant speed on a level road, the forces retarding its forward progress are the drag and the rolling friction. The force due to rolling friction can be written as Fit Wfr(1+ V V₁ where V is the truck speed in m/s, Vo = 30 m/s and fr (the coefficient of rolling resistance) is approximately 0.008 for a truck on concrete or asphalt. Plot the total power the engine must supply as a function of truck speed, V. Comment on the relative importance of drag and rolling friction in the fuel consumption of the truck.arrow_forward
