Chapter 1, Problem 6P
In a pollution control experiment, minute solid particles (typical mass 1 × 10−13 slug) are dropped in air. The terminal speed of the particles is measured to be 0.2 ft/s. The drag of these particles is given by FD = kV, where V is the instantaneous particle speed. Find the value of the constant k. Find the time required to reach 99 percent of terminal speed.

Sparky is on the university speed ice skating team. When crossing the finish line
Sparky wants to show off and come across the finish line on one skate with a velocity of 35
ft/sec (V). Sparky weighs 150 lbf. Sparky’s weight is supported by a thin liquid film of water
melted by the pressure of the skate blade. If the blade is 13 inches long and 0.125 inches wide
estimate Sparky’s deceleration resulting from viscous shear in a water film of thickness of
0.0000575 inches (h). Neglect all end effects. Evaluate all properties at 32°F. Suggest
creating a simple schematic of the problem using V, h, and the viscous shear stress (not
required).
Express a speed of 20 nm/h (1 nautical mile = 6076 ft)in units of kilometers per minute.

The power output generated by a windmill depends upon the blade’s diameter (D) and velocity of the wind (V). A good estimate of the power output is given by the following formula: P = (0.01328)D2V3 where P= Power Output (Watts) D = Diameter of the windmill blade in meters V = Velocity of the wind in m/s. Use the Secant method to determine what should be the diameter of the windmill blade if one wishes to generate 800 watts of electric power when the wind speed is 16mph.
