Chapter 14.3, Problem 14.104P
In a rocket, the kinetic energy imparted to the consumed and ejected fuel is wasted as far as propelling the rocket is concerned. The useful power is equal to the product of the force available to propel the rocket and the speed of the rocket. If v is the speed of the rocket and u is the relative speed of the expelled fuel, show that the

The kinetic energy of a 2200-kg vehicle is absorbed by two springs. Determine the appropriate spring constant if the maximum compression is to be 100mm at a vehicle speed of 16 m/s.
A launch vehicle has 6 engines operating in parallel which are fed from the same propellant tank.
Initially, each engine has an equivalent exhaust velocity of 3500 m/s and consumes 400 kilograms of
propellant per second.
One of the engines malfunctions and consequently operates at 50% thrust and 120% propellant
consumption. Calculate the equivalent exhaust velocity in m/s of all engines if treated as a single
engine, including the malfunctioning engine in your calculation.
Water flowing steadily at a rate of 0.16 m3/s is deflected downward by an angled elbow as shown. For D = 30 cm, d = 10 cm, and h = 50 cm, determine the force acting on the flanges of the elbow and the angle its line of action makes with the horizontal. Take the internal volume of the elbow to be 0.03 m3 and the weight of the elbow whose masss is 5kg.

- 8. Lost in the Equations 2. A rectangular container is initially one-third full of water, and an empty cylindrical bucket of mass m = 150 g is initially floating in it. Now, Franco turns the faucet on, which deposits water into the bucket with a constant mass rate o = 63.1 g/s. As expected, the water level of the container rises. After some time, the top of the bucket eventually reaches the water level of the container and the water level of the container decreases sharply. The bucket then sinks to the floor of the container and is completely submerged. You are given that the water has density p = 1025 kg/m³. The cross-sectional areas of the rectangular container and the circular bucket are A = 100 cm² and a = 49.0 cm² respectively. If the faucet doesn't stop flowing, find the rate by which the rectangular container's water level increases before the sharp decrease in water level.arrow_forwardThe pumping power of the human heart is approximately 2W (assuming a normal cardiac output of 5 liters/min). Like any pump, however, the heart is not 100% efficient, and, therefore, the power that is supplied to the heart muscle will actually exceed 2W. In this question we will estimate the heart’s pumping efficiency η by calculating how much energy is supplied to the heart muscle from the blood.(Note that the heart muscle has its own vasculature, called the coronarycirculation.) (a) When we calculated the pumping power of the heart, we only considered the head gain across the heart from the pressure increase. In general, there could also be changes in elevation (very small) and in kineticenergy. Estimate the ratio of kinetic energy head to pressure head at peaksystole, when pressure is 120 mmHg and blood velocity is 100 cm/s.Can we safely neglect kinetic energy gains in calculating pumpingpower?(b) At rest, the coronary blood flow is 225 ml/min, and 65% of the O2 isremoved from the…arrow_forwardI4arrow_forward
- A water turbine is used to generate electricity across a dam. The mass flowrate of water at the river is 10000 kg/s and the efficiency of the turbine and generator are 80% and 90% respectively. Knowing that the turbine generate a total of 10 MW, determine the height h , considering the that the system has a total loss of 10% of the total energy generated by the power plant.

The mass flow rate of water through the stationary nozzle is 30 kg/s. After the strike, the water stream splatters off in all directions in the plane of the back surface. Determine the force that needs to be applied by the brakes of the cart to prevent it from accelerating. If this force were used to generate power instead of wasting it on the brakes, determine the maximum amount of power that could ideally be generated.arrow_forwardPROBLEM 8. The total weight of space shuttle including its payload mass and the empty external tank, and its empty two solid rocket boosters is mo = 428,100 lb. It is known that the external tank and the two solid rocket boosters initially holds m,(0) = 3,728,875 lb of fuel (that is the total weight of solid fuel plus liquid oxygen and hydrogen). The shuttle consumes its liquid and solid fuels at a constant rate of A = 14,300 lb/s. Also, it is known that the shuttle thrust force is F, = 400,000 lb. (a) Use the Newton's 2nd law below to find the second order differential equation that describes the vertical position y of the space shuttle as a function of time. The shuttle is launched vertically upward from the ground as shown below, with the positive direction upward and the air resistance is ignored. The Earth's gravitational acceleration on its surface is g = 32.2 ft/s² and its radius is R = 4000 miles.

During landing, a thrust reverser (which serves as a brake for the aircraft and facilitates landing on a short runway) is lowered in the path of the exhaust jet, which deflects the exhaust rearward 120 degrees, as shown below. Determine (a) the thrust (forward force) that the engine produces prior to the insertion of the thrust reverser and (b) the braking force produced after the thrust reverser is deployed.arrow_forward5.
