Chapter 4, Problem 6P
For a small particle of styrofoam (density = 19.2 kg/m3) that is spherical with a diameter d = 1.0 mm falling in standard air at speed V, the drag is given by FD = 3πμVd where μ is the air viscosity. Find (a) the maximum speed of the particle starting from rest and (b) the time it takes to reach 95% of this speed. Plot the speed (m/s) as a function of time.

A stationary object in a flow of speed 27 m/s produces a drag force of 13 N. The flow speed is then changed to 25 m/s. What will be the drag force if the
Drag Coefficient and density are assumed constant?
Give your answer in Newtons to 2 decimal places.
The drag equation for the Gofaster 172 is: D = 0.0003v2A. D is drag in pounds; v is airspeed in feet/second; and A is aircraft frontal area in square feet.
At maximum airspeed, D = 140 lbs. How much does max airspeed INCREASE if the fuselage is narrowed such that frontal area A is reduced from 16 ft2 to 14 ft2? Give the answer in ft/sec AND mph.
drag is 140 lbs. at maximum airspeed, regardless of frontal area.
the question is: what is the INCREASE in max airspeed, not what is the max airspeed.
A vertical air stream flowing at a velocity of 100 m/s supports a ball of 60 mm in diameter. Taking the density of air as 1.2 kg/m³ and kinematic viscosity as 1.6 stokes, the weight of the ball that is supported is (if coefficient of drag C= 0.8)

When crossing the finish line Sparky wants to show off and come across the finish line on one skate with a velocity of 35 ft/sec (V). Sparky weighs 150 lbf. Sparky’s weight is supported by a thin liquid film of water melted by the pressure of the skate blade. If the blade is 13 inches long and 0.125 inches wide estimate Sparky’s deceleration resulting from viscous shear in a water film of thickness of 0.0000575 inches (h). Neglect all end effects. Evaluate all properties at 32°F. Suggest creating a simple schematic of the problem using V, h, and the viscous shear stress (not required).arrow_forward

- Please Aspaarrow_forward1. The aerodynamic drag of a Formula 1 car is to be predicted at a speed of 100 km/hr in an environment where air temperature is 25°C and the corresponding kinematic viscosity of air is v=1.60×105 m²/s. Automotive engineers build a 1/4 scale model of the car to test in a wind tunnel, where the air temperature is 10°C and kinematic viscosity of air is v=1.46×105 m²/s. A drag balance is used to measure the drag, and the moving belt is used to simulate the moving ground. Determine the speed of the wind tunnel that the engineers must run in order to achieve similarity between the model and prototype. (Ans: 365 km/hr).
