Fluid Dynamics

The study of the flow of gases and liquids, usually in and around solid surfaces, is known as fluid dynamics in physics and engineering. Fluid dynamics, for example, can be used to evaluate the movement of air through an airplane wing or the surface of a…

A block of mass m, lies on the floor of an elevator cab of mass m, that is being pulled upward by a cable through a distance d. During this displacement, if the normal force on the block from the cab's floor has constant magnitude FN, how much work is done on the elevator cab by the force T from the cable (W, )? Express your answer in terms of m, m2, FN, and d. T m. Select one: W= Fyd(1 - m) W, Fyd( ) |3D Fyd(1 +m) %3D End(im

A student sits on a rotating stool holding two 3.0 kg objects. When his arms are extended horizontally, the objects are 1.0 m from the axis of rotation, and he rotates with an angular speed of 0.75 rad/s. The moment of inertia of the student plus stool is 3.0 kg•m and is assumed to be constant. The student then pulls the objects horizontally to 0.50 m from the rotation axis. (a) Find the new angular speed of the student. 1.907 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. rad/s (b) Find the kinetic energy of the student system before and after the objects are pulled in. before after
