A pail, \(400 \mathrm{mm}\) in diameter and \(400 \mathrm{mm}\) deep, weighs \(15 \mathrm{N}\) and contains \(200 \mathrm{mm}\) of water. The pail is swung in a vertical circle of \(1-\mathrm{m}\) radius at a speed of \(5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). Assume the water moves as a rigid body. At the instant when the pail is at the top of its trajectory, compute the tension in the string and the pressure on the bottom of the pail from the water.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The tension in the string and pressure at the bottom of the pail can be calculated using the centripetal force and pressure at a certain depth in a fluid.

Step by step solution

01

Identify known values

First, identify the known values from the problem. Here, they include the radius of the pail (\(r_{pail} = 0.2 \, m\)), the depth of the water (\(h = 0.2 \, m\)), the weight of the pail (\(W_{pail} = 15 \, N\)), the radius of the circular path (\(R = 1 \, m\)) and the speed (\(v = 5 \, m/s\)). The density of water is a standard value of \( \rho = 1000 \, kg/m^3 \) and the gravitational acceleration is \(g = 9.81 \, m/s^2\).
02

Calculate the Centripetal Force

Calculate the centripetal force which is responsible for the circular motion of the pail. This force can be calculated as follows \[ F_{c} = m \cdot (v^2/R) \] where \( m \) is the mass of water. Given that density \(\rho = m/V\), the mass \(m\) can be calculated as \(m = \rho \cdot V = \rho \cdot \pi \cdot (r_{pail})^2 \cdot h \)
03

Calculate the Tension in the String

Calculate the tension in the string when the pail is at the top of the trajectory. The tension is equal to the weight of the water and pail plus the centripetal force, formulated as follows: \[ T = W_{pail} + m \cdot g + F_{c} \]. This is due to the net force in circular motion being the centripetal force.
04

Calculate the Pressure on the Bottom of the Pail

Lastly, compute the pressure exerted by the water on the bottom of the pail. The pressure in a fluid at a certain depth is given by \[ P = P_{atm} + \rho \cdot g \cdot h + \rho \cdot (v^2/R) \] where \( P_{atm} \) is the atmospheric pressure (value is \(1.013 \times 10^5 \, Pa\) at sea level).

The cross-sectional shape of a canoe is modeled by the curve \(y=a x^{2},\) where \(a=1.2 \mathrm{ft}^{-1}\) and the coordinates are in feet. Assume the width of the canoe is constant at \(w=2 \mathrm{ft}\) over its entire length \(L=18 \mathrm{ft}\). Set up a general algebraic expression relating the total mass of the canoe and its contents to distance \(d\) between the water surface and the gunwale of the floating canoe. Calculate the maximum total mass allowable without swamping the canoe.

It is desired to use a hot air balloon with a volume of \(320,000 \mathrm{ft}^{3}\) for rides planned in summer morning hours when the air temperature is about \(48^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\). The torch will warm the air inside the balloon to a temperature of \(160^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\). Both inside and outside pressures will be "standard" (14.7 psia). How much mass can be carried by the balloon (basket, fuel, passengers, personal items, and the component of the balloon itself) if neutral buoyancy is to be assured? What mass can be carried by the balloon to ensure vertical takeoff acceleration of \(2.5 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}^{2} ?\) For this, consider that both balloon and inside air have to be accelerated, as well as some of the surrounding air (to make way for the balloon). The rule of thumb is that the total mass subject to acceleration is the mass of the balloon, all its appurtenances, and twice its volume of air. Given that the volume of hot air is fixed during the flight, what can the balloonists do when they want to go down?

A sphere of radius 1 in., made from material of specific gravity of \(\mathrm{SG}=0.95,\) is submerged in a tank of water. The sphere is placed over a hole of radius 0.075 in., in the tank bottom. When the sphere is released, will it stay on the bottom of the tank or float to the surface?

An open tank is filled to the top with water. A steel cylindrical container, wall thickness \(\delta=1 \mathrm{mm},\) outside diameter \(D=100 \mathrm{mm},\) and height \(H=1 \mathrm{m},\) with an open top, is gently placed in the water. What is the volume of water that overflows from the tank? How many 1 kg weights must be placed in the container to make it sink? Neglect surface tension effects.

The cylinder shown is supported by an incompressible liquid of density \(\rho,\) and is hinged along its length. The cylinder, of mass \(M,\) length \(L,\) and radius \(R,\) is immersed in liquid to depth \(H .\) Obtain a general expression for the cylinder specific gravity versus the ratio of liquid depth to cylinder radius, \(\alpha=H / R,\) needed to hold the cylinder in equilibrium for \(0 \leq \alpha<1 .\) Plot the results.
