Computation. A river is 57 m wide and you want to swim straight across it. You find that you can do this if you swim at an angle of 0 = 28° from the upstream direction at a constant rate of 1.2 m/s (relative to th water). What is the river's flow speed relative to the ground, Vrg? [Note: Notice carefully that the angle 0 is measured from the river bank so that directly upstream is 0 = 0° and directly across the river is 0 = 90°.]

A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims 90.0 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for 200.0 m, then follows a big grouper for 80.0 m in the direction 30 north of east. In the meantime, a local current displaces her by 150.0 m south. Assuming the current is no longer present, in what direction and how far should she now swim to come back to the point where she started?
A city holding tank for water sits 21.0 above the city. If a house near the holding tank was on fire, to what height would firefighters have to drain the tank so water sprayed from the bottom of the tank hits the top of the house at its center, 10.0 m above the ground and 12.0 m away? QUESTION 2 Consider the water tank from the previous question. What is the speed (in m/s) of the water as it leaves the bottom of the tank? QUESTION 3 Assume the tank from the previous questions is sealed airtight with an air gap between the water's surface and the top of the tank. The air pressure in the air gap is 25.0 kPa, while atmospheric pressure outside the tank is 101.4 kPa. Assuming the velocity of the water level in the tank is effectively zero, to what height will firefighters now need to drain the tank so water hits the burning house? (Assume the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. Report your answer to two decimal places.)
A radar station sends a signal to a ship which is located a distance 13.8 kilometers from the station at bearing 136° clockwise from the north. At the same moment, a helicopter is at a horizontal range of 19.6 kilometers, at bearing 146° clockwise from the north, with an elevation of 2.56 kilometers. Let east be the î direction, north be the ĵ direction, and up be the direction. a) What If? The ship begins to sink at a rate of 5.50 m/s. Write the position vector (in km) of the ship relative to the helicopter as a function of time as the ship sinks. Assume that the helicopter remains hovering at its initial position and that the sinking rate remains the same even after the ship sinks under the surface.
The very large water tank in Fig. P3.147 is dischargingthrough a 4-in-diameter pipe. The pump is running, with aperformance curve h p ≈ 40 - 4 Q 2 , with h p in feet and Q inft 3 /s. Estimate the discharge fl ow rate in ft 3 /s if the pipefriction loss is 1.5( V 2 /2 g ).
juice storage tank in a processing company was accidently hit by a stone from children playing nearby that caused leakage of the juice. If the top of the tank is open to the atmosphere and the level of juice is 350 cm above the hole, determine the speed at which the juice will leave the hole. Given that s.g. of juice is 1.054, g= 9.8 m/s2. State all assumptions made.
Provide an illustration of the given problem. A mountain climbing expedition establishes a base camp and two intermediate camps, X and Y. Camp X is 10,200 m east and 4,200 m above base camp. Camp Y is 9400 m east of and 2500 m higher than Camp X. Determine the displacement between base camp and Camp Y in meters.
You are working as an assistant to a landscape architect, who is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.88 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 3.10 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (see the figure below). (a) The architect has asked you to determine if the space behind the waterfall will be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway. (Enter the maximum width, in meters, of a walkway behind the waterfall.) m (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. She asks you to design and build the model, with the important question being: how fast (in m/s) should the water flow in the channel in the model? m/s
Water from a fire hose is directed toward a building as shown in the figure below. The water leaves the hose at a speed of vi = 40.0 m/s and at an angle of ?i = 35.0° above the horizontal. The base of the hose (at ground level) is a horizontal distance d = 51.0 m away from the building. Find the height h (in m) where the water strikes the building.
a) A wind turbine with two or four hollow hemispherical cups connected to a pivot is commonly uscd to measure wind speed. Consider a wind turbine with four 8-cm- diameter cups with a center-to-center distance of 40 cm, as shown in Fig. PI1-35. The pivot is stuck as a result of some malfunction, and the cups stop rotating. For a wind speed of 15 m/s and air density of 1.25 kg/m3, determine the maximum torque this turbine applies on the pivot. A hemisphere at two different orientations for Re > 10 40 cm C04
An open water tank 80cm high, 120cm long, and 50cm wide is to be transported. The acceleration is along the width of the water tank. If the horizontal acceleration is 3m/s^2, solve the initial volume of water such that no water will be spilled during motion. O 0.59m^3 O 0.43m^3 0.37m^3 0.69m^3
