Chapter 9, Problem 9.16P

Consider a circular cylinder (oriented with its axis perpendicular to the flow) and a symmetric diamond-wedge airfoil with a half-angle of 5 ° at zero angle of attack; both bodies are in the same Mach 5 freestrearn. The thickness of the airfoil and the diameter of the cylinder are the same. The drag coefficient (based on projected frontal area) of the cylinder is 4/3. Calculate the ratio of the cylinder drag to the diamond airfoil drag. What does this say about the aerodynamic performance of a blunt body compared to a sharp-nosed slender body in supersonic flow?

An acrobat is walking on a tightrope of length L =20.1 m attached to supports A and B at a distance of 20.0 m apart. The combined weight of the acrobat and his balancing pole is 900 N, and the friction between his shoes and the rope is large enough to prevent him from slipping. Neglecting the weight of the rope and any elastic deformation, determine the deflection (y) and the tension in portion AC and BC of the rope for values of x from 0.5 m to 10 m using 0.5 m increments. 1. Determine the maximum deflection (y) in the rope. 2. Plot tension of AC and BC vs. x (on the same plot with x on the x-axis). Turn in the plot and the table of x, TAC, and TBC (clearly label each).
