A human wave. During sporting events within large, density packed stadiums, spectators will send a wave (or pulse) around the stadium (Fig. 16-44). As the wave reaches a group of spectators, they stand with a cheer and then sit. At any instant, the width w of the wave is the distance froin the leading edge (people are just about to stand) to the trailing edge (people have just sat down). Suppose a human wave fravels a distance of 853 seats around a stadium in 51 s, with spectators requiring about 1.8 s to respond to the wave's passage by stand- ing and then sitting. What are (a) the wave speed v in seats per second) and (b) width w (in number of sears)? |

Assume Eq. 6-29 gives the drag force on a pilot plus ejec-tion seat just after they are ejected from a plane traveling horizontally at 1300 km/h. Assume also that the mass of the seat is equal to the mass of the pilot and that the drag coefficient is that of a sky diver. Making a reasonable guess of the pilot's mass and using the appropriate v, value from Table 6-2, estimate the magnitudes of (a) the drag force on the pilot + seat and (b) their horizontal deceleration (in terms of g), both just after ejection. (The result of (a) should indicate an engineering requirement: The seat must include a protective barrier to deflect the initial wind blast away from the pilot's head.) |
