Chapter 9, Problem 9RQ
  1. 9. We have been asked to determine a set of dimensionless numbers to evaluate the speed of a wave in a shallow liquid.
ρ = Density of the liquid [=] grams per cubic centimeter [g/cm3]
D = Depth of the liquid [=] feet [ft]
v = Velocity of the wave [=] miles per hour [mph or mi/h]
σ = Surface tension of the liquid [=] joules per square meter [J/m2]
µ = Viscosity of the liquid [=] pascal seconds [Pa s]
T = Temperature of the liquid [=] kelvin [K]
  1. a. Analyze this system using Rayleigh’s method.
  2. b. How does this analysis change if gravity (g, in meters per second squared [m/s2]) is included?

You are heating motor oil to make it flow better from the original shipping container to the new container you built. You know that the heating rate of the motor oil is 2.50 degrees Celsius per slug second [°C /(slug s)]. Express this heating rate in units of degrees Fahrenheit per pound-mass second [°F/ (lbm s)]. Click the icon to view the conversion table. Click the icon to view the factors for temperature intervals conversion The heating rate is °F / (lbm s). (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
An automobile's power is proportional to the cube of its speed on a level road in still air. This relationship between speed and engine power for the Gofaster model XP9 is:  [mph]3 = 9600 [hp]. The XP9 has a 180 hp engine. What is its max speed on a level road in still air?
Please do this carefully.
