A mixing beater consists of three thin rods, each 10.3 cm long. The rods diverge from a central hub, separated from each other by 120°, and all turn in the same plane. A ball is attached to the end of each rod. Each ball has cross sectional area 3.90 cm2 and is so shaped that it has a drag coefficient of 0.580. The drag force on each ball is R = 1/2 D ? A v2 where D is the drag coefficient, ? the density of the fluid, A the cross-sectional area, and v the speed of the object moving through the fluid.
A. Calculate the power input required to spin the beater at 1000 rev/min in water.
B. The beater is taken out of the water and held in air. If the input power remains the same (it wouldn't, but if it did), what would be the new rotation speed?

- When a person jumps off a diving platform, she imparts some amount of angular momentum to her body. (To see why, consider a person who jumps straight up: She falls straight down. When a person jumps off a diving platform, she must jump at an angle to the vertical, or she would land on the board.) While she is in the air, angular momentum is conserved. Draw a free-body diagram of the diver in the air and use it to explain why angular momentum is conserved during flight. It may be useful to include the axes of rotation for the two common types of spinning moves that divers perform: twists and flips (Fig. P13.74).arrow_forwardChildren playing pirates have suspended a uniform wooden plank with mass 15.0 kg and length 2.50 m as shown in Figure P14.27.
