Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics
- The main propulsion system of a space shuttle consists of three identical rocket engines, each of which burns the hydrogen-oxygen propellant at the rate of 750 lb/s and ejects it with a relative velocity of 12,000 ft/s. Determine the total thrust provided by the three engines.arrow_forwardThe nozzle shown discharges water at the rate of 200 gal/min. Knowing that at both B and C the stream of water moves with a velocity of magnitude 100 ft/s, and neglecting the weight of the vane, determine the force-couple system that must be applied at A to hold the vane in place (1 ft3 = 7.48 gal).arrow_forwardThe vane is moving at 80 ft/s when a jet of water having a velocity of 150 ft/s enters at A. The cross-sectional area of the jet is 1.5 in2, and it is diverted as shown Determine the horsepower developed by the water on the blade. 1hp = 550 ft*lb/sarrow_forward
- The second stage of a two-stage rocket weighs 2000 lb (empty) and is launched from the first stage with a velocity of 3000 mi/h. The fuel in the second stage weighs 1000 lb. If it is consumed at the rate of 50lb/s and ejected with a relative velocity of 8000 ft/s, determine the acceleration of the second stage just after the engine is fired. What is the rocket’s acceleration just before all the fuel is consumed? Neglect the effect of gravitation.arrow_forwardA stream of water leaves the large tank A and fills the tank B. The output diameter of tank A is d = 0.1 meters. Tank B is a cylindrical tank whose base diameter is 1 meter. Determine the time (in seconds) required to fill tank B if the height of tank B is h:5.8. tank A h = 8 m d = 0.1 m 10 m – h tank B -Imarrow_forwardThe missile weighs 47000 lb. The constant thrust provided by the turbojet engine isT = 18000 lb. Additional thrust is provided by two rocket boosters B. The propellant ineach booster is burned at a constant rate of 175 lb/s, with a relative exhaust velocity of 2000f t/s. If the mass of the propellant lost by the turbojet engine can be neglected, determinethe velocity of the missile after the 6 s burn time of the boosters. The initial velocity ofthe missile is 150 mi/h. Using your integration procedure from the previous labs solve thisproblem with n = 5, n = 10 and n = 100.arrow_forward
- In order to shorten the distance required for landing, a jet airplane is equipped with movable vanes that partially reverse the direction of the air discharged by each of its engines. Each engine scoops in the air at a rate of 120 kg/s and discharges it with a velocity of 600 m/s relative to the engine. At an instant when the speed of the airplane is 270 km/h, determine the reverse thrust provided by each of the engines.arrow_forwardProblem 1. The water jet is ejected from the 4-in.-diameter pipe with a steady velocity of 16 ft/s. If it strikes the surface and is deflected in the vertical plane as shown, determine the volumetric flow towards A and towards B if the tangential component of the force that the water exerts on the surface is zero.

Determine the new speed of the spacecraft. The loss of mass due to fuel burned is negligibly small.arrow_forward
- The weight of a Falcon rocket is 500,000 kg. It will be landed on earth at a constant speed of 100 m/s. To slow down the rocket, combustion gases will be fired at the bottom and leave the rocket at a constant rate of 150 kg/s at a relative velocity of 5000 m/s in the direction of motion of the spacecraft for a period of 10 s. If the mass change of the Falcon rocket cannot be ignored, determine (a) the deceleration of the rocket during this period, (b) the thrust exerted on the rocket.arrow_forwardThe plane has a mass of 6.5 Mg and is propelled using two jet engines. The exhaust from the engine measured relative to the plane is 900 m/s, and the steady mass flow is 56 kg/s. 30% Part A If the plane lands with a horizontal touchdown speed of 60 m/s when the braking deflector is engaged, determine the speed of the plane 4 s after it has landod.
