Another explanation is that the stones move only when the water dumped on the playa during a storm freeze into a large, thin sheet of ice. The stones are trapped in place in the ice. Then, as air flows across the ice during a wind, the air-drag forces on the ice and stones move them both, with the stones gouging out the trails. The magnitude of the air-drag force on this horizontal 鈥渋ce sail鈥 is given by Dice=4CicerAicev2, whereice is the drag coefficient(2.0103), r is the air density(1.21kg/m3),Aiceis the horizontal area of the ice, and vis the wind speed along the ice. Assume the following: The ice sheet measures400mby500m by4.0mmand has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.10with the ground and a density of917kg/m3. Also assume that 100 stones identical to the one in Problem 8 are trapped in the ice. To maintain the motion of the sheet, what are the required wind speeds

(a) near the sheet and

(b) at a height of10m?

(c) Are these reasonable values for high-speed winds in a storm?

  3. The result is reasonable for storm winds.

Step by step solution

01

Given data  

  • The dimension of ice is 400 m by 500 m by 4 mm.
  • The density of ice is917鈥塳驳/尘3.
  • The air-drag force is:D=4Cice蚁础icev2.
  • The drag coefficient,Cice=2103 .
  • The air density,=1.21鈥塳驳/尘3.
  • The number of stones is 100.
  • The mass of each stone is 20 kg.
  • The kinetic friction coefficient between ice and ground, k=0.10.
02

To understand the solution 

The problem deals with the relation between air-drag force and frictional force. Air-drag force is a force acting opposite to the relative motion of any object moving with respect to a surrounding fluid. The frictional force is the opposing force that is created between two surfaces that try to move in the same direction or that try to move in opposite directions. Here equate the air-drag force to the frictional force to solve this question.

Formula:

Air drag force is given by,

D=4Cice蚁础icev2

Frictional force is

F=kmg

03

Calculate the mass of ice and 100 stones

The mass of ice:

mice=917鈥塳驳/尘3(400鈥尘500鈥尘0.004鈥尘)mice=7.34105鈥塳驳

The mass of ice with 100 stones:

m=mice+10020鈥塳驳m=7.34105鈥塳驳+2000鈥塳驳m=7.36105鈥塳驳

04

(a) Calculate the velocity of wind required near the sheet to maintain the motion of the sheet

To calculate the velocity of wind, equate air-drag force to frictional force:

D=F4Cice蚁础icev2=kmgv=kmg4Cice蚁础ice

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

v=(0.10)(7.36105鈥塳驳)(9.8鈥尘/s2)4(2103)(1.21kg/m3)(400鈥尘500鈥尘)v=19鈥尘/s3600鈥塻1hr1鈥塳尘1000鈥尘v=69鈥塳尘/丑

Thus, the required speed is 69 km/h.

05

(b) Calculate the velocity of wind required at a height of  to maintain the motion of the sheet 

Doubling our previous result, we find the required speed to be139鈥塳尘/丑 .

Thus, the speed will be 139 km/h.

06

(c) Figure out if these are reasonable values for high-speed winds in a storm

The result is reasonable for storm winds. A category-5 hurricane has speeds on the order of 2.6102m/s.

Thus, we can say that these values for high-speed winds in a storm are reasonable.

A warehouse worker exerts a constant horizontal force of magnitude 85 Non a 40 kgbox that is initially at rest on the horizontal floor of the warehouse. When the box has moved a distance of 1.4 m, its speed is 1.0 m/s. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor?

An 8.0 kgblock of steel is at rest on a horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is 0.450. A force is to be applied to the block. To three significant figures, what is the magnitude of that applied force if it puts the block on the verge of sliding when the force is directed

(a) horizontally,

(b) upward at60.0from the horizontal, and

(c) downward at60.0from the horizontal?

In about 1915, Henry Sincosky of Philadelphia suspended himself from a rafter by gripping the rafter with the thumb of each hand on one side and the fingers on the opposite side (Fig. 6-21). Sincosky鈥檚 mass was 79kg. If the coefficient of static friction between hand and rafter was 0.70, what was the least magnitude of the normal force on the rafter from each thumb or opposite fingers? (After suspending himself, Sincosky chinned himself on the rafter and then moved hand-over-hand along the rafter. If you do not think Sincosky鈥檚 grip was remarkable, try to repeat his stunt)

In the early afternoon, a car is parked on a street that runs down a steep hill, at an angle of35.0relative to the horizontal. Just then the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the street surface is 0.725. Later, after nightfall, a sleet storm hits the area, and the coefficient decreases due to both the ice and a chemical change in the road surface because of the temperature decrease. By what percentage must the coefficient decrease if the car is to be in danger of sliding down the street?

When the three blocks in Fig. 6-29 are released from rest, they accelerate with a magnitude of 0.500m/s2. Block 1 has mass M, block 2 has 2M, and block 3 has 2M. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between block 2 and the table?
