Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 5P
In a combustion process, gasoline particles are to be dropped in air at 200°F. The particles must drop at least 10 in. in 1 s. Find the diameter d of droplets required for this. (The drag on these particles is given by FD = 3πμ Vd, where V is the particle speed and μ is the air viscosity. To solve this problem, use Excel’s Goal Seek.)

If the ice hits the ground with a vertical speed of 85m/s, what was the height of the plane when the ice fell off? (Assume that friction can be ignored.)arrow_forwardGlobal warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length, Ah (in mm), of a column of water 1.5 km high for a temperature increase of 1.2 °C.Assume the column is not free to expand sideways. As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean warming is not uniform with depth.
