- Review. A mixing beater consists of three thin rods, each 10.0 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 4.00 cm2 and is so shaped that it has a drag coefficient of 0.600. Calculate the power input required to spin the beater at 1 000 rev/min (a) in air and (b) in water.arrow_forwardReview. A mixing beater consists of three thin rods, each 10.0 cm long.

Is the cross-sectional radius of the brass wire more, less, or equal to the cross-sectional radius of the steel wire? Explain. Youngs moduli for brass and steel are 1.0 1010 N/m2 and 2.0 1011 N/m2, respectively.arrow_forward
- A 20.0m -tall hollow aluminium flagpole is equivalent in strength to a solid cylinder 4.00cm in diameter. A strong wind bends the pole as much as a horizontal 900.0N force on the top would do. How far to the side does the top of the pole flex?arrow_forwardA smooth circular hoop with a radius of 0.500 m is placed flat on the floor. A 0.400-kg particle slides around the inside edge of the hoop. The particle is given an initial speed of 8.00 m/s. After one revolution, its speed has dropped to 6.00 m/s because of friction with the floor.

(b) What is the total number of revolutions the particle makes before stopping? Assume the friction force remains constant during the entire motion.arrow_forwardAun is Q5/ If a Moment of M 300 N. m is applied to the flywheel, determine the force that must be developed in the hydraulic cylinder CD to prevent the flywheel from rotating.

- Bicycle caliper brakes consist of rubber pads mounted in rigid metal "shoes." The normal force applied by a bicycle caliper brake pad to the wheel rim is about 2.0 x 102 N. The contact area of the brake pad is approximately 4.0 cm x 0.90 cm, with the long dimension parallel to the rim's rotation. The pad is 1.0 cm thick. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rubber pad and the aluminum rim is 0.50. Given that the shear modulus of the rubber is 0.30 MPa, calculate the deformation angle o of the brake pad.arrow_forwardA solid uniform ball with mass m and diameter d is supported against a vertical frictionless wall by a thin massless wire of length L. a) Find the tension in the wire. Solution a) Let us first derive the expression for the tension. By Newton's First Law ZF = the components of force that makes this so is EF = T = 0 Simplifying this results to 8/ (4) Analyzing the figure above, we arrive at (4) = sqrt( By substitution, we arrive at the following: T= + 2 Og/( sqrt ( 24 If the ball has a mass of 45 kg and diameter 32 cm, while the wire has a length of 30 cm.
