Chapter 5, Problem 13P

The velocity v of a falling parachutist is given by

v = g m c ( 1 e ( c / m ) t )

where g = 9.81  m/s 2 . For a parachutist with a drag coefficient c = 15 kg/s, compute the mass m so that the velocity is v = 36  m/s at  t = 10  s . Use the false-position method to determine m to a level of ε s = 0.1 % .

The two disks A and B have a mass of 4 kg and 6 kg, respectively. They collide with the initial velocities shown. The coefficient of restitution is e = 0.75. Suppose that (VA)1 = 6 m/s, (VB)₁ = 7 m/s. (Figure 1) Determine the magnitude of the velocity of A just after impact. Determine the angle between the x axis and the velocity of A just after impact, measured clockwise from the negative x axis. Determine the magnitude of the velocity of B just after impact. Determine the angle between the x axis and the velocity of B just after impact, measured clockwise from the positive x axis. (VB)1 B (VA)1 60° Line of impact
A hot plane surface is maintained at 100°C, and it is exposed to air at 25°C.The combined heat transfer coefficient between the surface and the air is 25W/m²·K. (same as above). In this task, you are asked to design fins to cool asurface by attaching 3 cm-long, 0.25 cm-diameter aluminum pin fins (thermalconductivity, k = 237 W/m·K) with a center-to-center distance of 0.6 cm. (Tip:do not correct the length). Determine the rate of heat transfer from thefinned structure to the air for a 1 m x 1 m section of the plate.
