Many types of race cars depend on negative lift (or down-force) to push them down against the track surface so they can take turns quickly without sliding out into the track wall . Part of the negative lift is the ground force , which is a force due to the airflow beneath the car . As the race car in Fig moves forward at 27.25 m/s , air is forced to flow over and under the car . The air forced to flow under the car . The air forced to flow under the car enters through a vertical cross-sectional area is A_(1) = 0.0310 m^(2) . Treat this flow as steady flow through a stationary horizontal pipe that decreases in cross-sectional area from A_(0) to A_(1) (Fig) (a) At the moment it passes through A_(0) , the air is at atmospheric pressure p_(0) . At what pressure p_(0) . At what pressure p_(1) is the air as it moves through A_(1) ? |
|
Answer» <P> Solution :From Eq. , we can WRITE`A_(0) v_(0) = A_(1) v_(1)` , or `v_(1) = v_(0) - (A_(0))/(A_(1)) "" (14-52)` Substituting Eq.14-52 into Eq.14-51 and rearranginggive us `p_(1) = p_(0) - (1)/(2) RHO v_(0)^(2) ((A_(0)^(2))/(A_(1)^(2)) - 1) "" (14-53)` The speed of the air as it enters `A_(0)` at the front of the CAR is equal to 27.25 m/s , the speed of the car as it moves forward through the air . Substituting this speed , the air density `rho = 1.21 KG//m^(3)` , and the values for `A_(0)` and `A_(1)` into Eq. , we find `p_(1) = p_(0)- (1)/(2) (1.21 kg //m^(3)) (27.25 m//s)^(2) [((0.0330 m^(2))^(2))/((0.0310 m^(2))^(2)) - 1]` `p_(1) = p_(0) - 59.838 Pa = p_(0) - 59.8 Pa` |

A force couple is the term used for a system of two equal antiparallel forces, the arm of the couple is the shortest distance between the forces. Prove that the torque is equal to the product of the magnitude of the force and the arm no matter what is the position of the point with respect to which the torque is determined. |
Answer» (the torque) is equal to the algebraic sum of the moments of each force about the axis. We have `M=F_1a+F_2(a+d)=F_1a+F_2a+F_2d` However, `F_1=F and F_2 =-F` , so M =-FD. The minus sign shows that this couple makes a left-hand screw about the axis. |

Explain briefly how bar magnets act as equivalent solenoids. |
Answer» Solution : The magnitude of magnetic field at a point 'P' due TOA circular element of thickness 'dx' is given by `dB=((mu_(o))/(4pi))(2pindxIa^(2))/(((r-X)^(2)+a^(2))^(1//2))` The magnitude of total magnetic field is given by `B=((mu_(o))/(4pi))2pinIa^(2)int_(-l)^(l)(dx)/([(r-x)^(2)+a^(2)]^(3//2))` For `r gt gt a ` and r `gt gtl, [(r-x)^(2)+a^(2)]^(3//2)=r^(3)` `:. "" B = ((mu_(o))/(4pi))(2pinIa^(2))/(r^(3))int_(-l)^(l)dx "" int_(-l)^(l)dx=(x)_(-l)^(l)` i.e., `"" B = ((mu_(o))/(4pi))(2pinIa^(2))/(r^(3))2L "" = l +l = 2l` We note that the product n `(2l) I (pia^(2))` = Magnetic moment 'm' `:. "" B = ((mu_(o))/(4pi)) (2m)/(r^(3)) "" --(1)` This expression is similar to the magnetic field at a point on the axis of a short magnet. Therefore a bar magnet and a solenoid produce similar magnetic FIELDS. |

A 1000 kg engine pulls a train of 4 wagons each of 2500 kg along a horizontal railway track. If the engine exerts a force of 50000 N on wagons and track offers force of friction 10000 N, then calculate (i) The net accelerating force (ii) The acceleration of the train (iii) The force of wagon-1 on wagon-2 |
Answer» Solution : FORCE EXERTED by the engine is `F_(1)=50,000 N ` Frictional force exerted by the track, `F_(2)= -10000 N` Negative sign shows that frictionis opposite to the directionof motion. (i) Therefore, net accelerating force `(VECF)=vecF_(1)+vecF_(2)` `=50,000 +(-10,000)` `=40,000 N` (ii) Mass of each wagon of the train = 2500 kg Number of wagons of the train = 4 `therefore underset("(without engine)") ("Mass of the train(m)")=2500 xx 4=10,000 kg` Net accelerating force acting on the train is F = 40,000 N From, F = ma `a=(F)/(m)=(40,000)/(10,000)=4m//s^(2)` (iii) Mass of ONE wagon `(m_(1))=2500 kg` Acceleration of the train `a=4m//s^(2)` Force exerted by wagon-1 on wagon-2 is the accelerating force for the three rear wagons. `therefore F'=3xx2500 xx 4m//s^(2)` `=30,000N` |

The separation between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance 2muF is 2mm. The capacitor is initially uncharged. If a dielectric slab of surface area same as the capacitor, thickness 1mm, and dielectric constant 3 is introduced, and then the capacitor is charged to a potential difference difference 100V, the energy stored in the capacitor becomes _______mJ. |
|
Answer» Then, `C_(0)=(epsi_(0)A)/(d)` After the dielectric SLAB is introduced, let the capacitance be C. So, `(1)/(C)=(((d)/(2)))/(epsi_(0)A)+(((d)/(2)))/(3psi_(0)A) implies C=(3C_(0))/(2)`. Since `C_(0)=2MUF, C=3muF` So, energy stored in the capacitor, `U=(1)/(2)CV^(2)=(1)/(2)(3xx10^(-6))(100)^(2)=15mJ`. |

Figures 2.8 (a) and (b) show the field lines of a positive and negative point charge respectively. (a) Give the signs of the potential difference V_(P)-V_(Q): V_(B)-V_(A). (b) Give the sign of the potential energy difference of a small negative charge between the points Q and P, A and B. (c) Give the sign of the work done by the field in moving a small positive charge from Q to P. (d) Give the sign of the work done by the external agency in moving a small negative charge from B to A. (e) Does the kinetic energy of a small negative charge increase or decrease in going from B to A? |
|
Answer» <P> Solution :(a) As `V prop 1/r, V_(P) gt V_(Q)`, Thus, `(V_(P)-V_(Q))` is positive. Also `V_(B)` is less NEGATIVE than `V_(A)`. Thus `V_(B) gt V_(A)` or `(V_(B)-V_(A))` is positive.(b) A small negative charge will be attracted towards positive charge. The negative charge moves from higher potential energy to lower potential energy. Therefore the sign of potential energy difference of a small negative charge between Q and P is positive.Similarly, `(P.E)_(A) gt (P.E)_(B)`and hence sign of potential energy differences is positive. (c) In moving a small positive charge from Q to P, work has to be done by an external agency against the electric FIELD. Therefore, work done by the field is negative. (d) In moving a small negative charge from B to A work has to be done by the external agency. It is positive. (e) Due to force of repulsion on the negative charge, velocity decreases and hence the KINETIC energy decreases in GOING from B to A. |

Large machine components that undergo prolonged, high-speed rotation are first examined for the possibility of failure in a spin test system. In this system, a component is spun up while inside a cylindrical arrangement of lead bricks and containment liner, all within a steel shell that is closed by a lid clamped into place. If the rotation causes the component to shatter, the soft lead bricks are supposed to catch the pieces for later analysis. In 1985, Test Devices, Inc. was spin testing a sample of a solid steel rotor of mass M = 272 kg and radius R = 38.0 cm. When the sample reached an angular speed omega of 14000 rev/min, the test engineers heard a dull thump from the test system, which was located one floor down and one room over from them. Investigating, they found that lead bricks had been thrown out in the hallway leading to the test room, a door to the room had been hurled into the adjacent parking lot, one lead brick had shot from the test site through the wall of a neighbor's kitchen, the structural beams of the test building had been damaged, the concrete floor beneath the spin chamber had been shoved downward by about 0.5 cm, and the 900 kg lid had been blown upward through the ceiling and had then crashed back onto the test equipment. The exploding pieces had not penetrated the room of the test engineers only by luck. How much energy was released in the explosion of the rotor? |
Answer» SOLUTION :The released energy was equal to the rotational kinetic energy K of the rotor just as it reached the angular SPEED of 1400 rev/min. Calculations: We can find Eq. `(K=1//2Iomega^(2))`, but first we need an EXPRESSION for the rotational inertia I. Because the rotor was a disk that rotated like a merry-go-round, I is GIVEN in `(I=1//2MR^(2))`. Thus, `I=1/2MR^(2)=1/2(272kg)(0.38m)^(2)=19.64kg*m^(2)`. The angular speed of the rotor was `omega=(14000"rev"//min)(2pi"rad"//"rev")((1min)/(60s))` = `1.466xx10^(3)rad//s`. Then, with we find the (huge) energy release : `K=1/2Iomega^(2)=1/2(19.64kg*m^(2))(1.466xx10^(3)"rad"//s)^(2)` = `2.1xx10^(7)J`. |
