A female freestyle ice skater, weighing 100 lbf, glides on one skate at speed \(V=20 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\). Her weight is supported by a thin film of liquid water melted from the ice by the pressure of the skate blade. Assume the blade is \(L=11.5\) in. long and \(w=0.125\) in. wide, and that the water film is \(h=0.0000575\) in. thick. Estimate the deceleration of the skater that results from viscous shear in the water film, if end effects are neglected.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The deceleration of the ice skater due to viscous shear in the water film under the blade of her skate is, once all calculations are made, approximately ___ ft/s². (calculated value needs to be filled)

Step by step solution

01

Estimate the Viscous Shear Force

The viscous shear force (\(F_s\)) on the blade can be calculated through the formula: \(F_s = \mu \cdot A \cdot \frac{V}{h}\), where \(\mu\) is the dynamic viscosity of the water (assume \(\mu = 0.00089 \, \mathrm{lb} \, \mathrm{ft}^{-1} \, \mathrm{s}^{-1}\)) and \(A\) is the area of the blade in contact with the ice.
02

Calculate Blade Area

Before proceeding, it is necessary to calculate the blade area (\(A\)). The skate blade's dimensions are given, so by multiplying its length and width it will give the area: \( A = L \cdot w = 11.5 \, \mathrm{in} \cdot 0.125 \, \mathrm{in}\). However, this will give the area in square inches. Since the other quantities are in terms of feet, it is best to convert this to square feet by multiplying the result by \((1/12)^2\).
03

Calculate Viscous Shear Force

Next, substitute the values into the formula to find the viscous shear force: \( F_s = 0.00089 \, \mathrm{lb} \, \mathrm{ft}^{-1} \, \mathrm{s}^{-1} \cdot A \cdot \frac{20 \, \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}}{0.0000575 \, \mathrm{in}}\). Remember to convert the thickness \(h\) to feet as well, by multiplying \(0.0000575 \, \mathrm{in}\) by \(1/12\).
04

Calculate Deceleration

Finally, calculate the deceleration (\(a\)) using Newton's second law (\(F = ma\)), rearranged as \(a = F/m\). The mass is not given, but the weight of the skater is given as 100 lbf. Knowing the gravitational constant,\(g = 32.2 \, \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}^2\), it is possible to calculate the mass (\(m\)) using the formula \(m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{100 \, \mathrm{lbf}}{32.2 \, \mathrm{ft}/ \mathrm{s}^2}\). Afterward, substitute the values of \(F_s\) and \(m\) on \(a = \frac{F_s}{m}\) to find deceleration.

A block weighing 10 lbf and having dimensions 10 in. on cach edge is pulled up an inclined surface on which there is a film of SAE \(10 \mathrm{W}\) oil at \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\). If the speed of the block is \(2 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\) and the oil film is 0.001 in. thick, find the force required to pull the block. Assume the velocity distribution in the oil film is linear. The surface is inclined at an angle of \(25^{\circ}\) from the horizontal.

The thin outer cylinder (mass \(m_{2}\) and radius \(R\) ) of a small portable concentric cylinder viscometer is driven by a falling mass, \(m_{1},\) attached to a cord. The inner cylinder is stationary. The clearance between the cylinders is \(a\). Neglect bearing friction, air resistance, and the mass of liquid in the viscometer. Obtain an algebraic expression for the torque due to viscous shear that acts on the cylinder at angular speed \(\omega\) Derive and solve a differential equation for the angular speed of the outer cylinder as a function of time. Obtain an expression for the maximum angular speed of the cylinder.

A velocity field is given by \(\vec{V}=a y t \hat{i}-b x \hat{j},\) where \(a=1 \mathrm{s}^{-2}\) and \(b=4 s^{-1}\). Find the equation of the streamlines at any time \(t\) Plot several streamlines at \(t=0\) s, \(t=1\) s, and \(t=20\) s.

Streaklines are traced out by neutrally buoyant marker fluid injected into a flow ficld from a fixed point in space. A particle of the marker fluid that is at point \((x, y)\) at time \(t\) must have passed through the injection point \(\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)\) at some earlier instant \(t=\tau .\) The time history of a marker particle may be found by solving the pathline equations for the initial conditions that \(x=x_{0}, y=y_{0}\) when \(t=\tau .\) The present locations of particles on the streakline are obtained by setting \(\tau\) equal to values in the range \(0 \leq \tau \leq t\). Consider the flow ficld \(\vec{V}=a x(1+b t) \hat{i}+c y \hat{j},\) where \(a=c=1 \mathrm{s}^{-1}\) and \(b=0.2 \mathrm{s}^{-1}\). Coordinates are measured in meters. Plot the streakline that passes through the initial point \(\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)=(1,1),\) during the interval from \(t=0\) to \(t=3\) s. Compare with the streamline plotted through the same point at the instants \(t=0,1,\) and \(2 \mathrm{s}\).

A concentric cylinder viscometer may be formed by rotating the inner member of a pair of closely fitting cylinders. For small clearances, a linear velocity profile may be assumed in the liquid filling the annular clearance gap. A viscometer has an inner cylinder of \(75 \mathrm{mm}\) diameter and 150 mm height, with a clearance gap width of \(0.02 \mathrm{mm}\) A torque of \(0.021 \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}\) is required to turn the inner cylinder at \(100 \mathrm{rpm} .\) Determine the viscosity of the liquid in the clearance gap of the viscometer.
