An airplane flies at a speed of 400 mph at an altitude of 10,000 ft. if the boundary layers on the wing surfaces behave as those on a flat plate, (a) estimate the extent of laminar boundary layer flow along the wing. assume a transitional reynolds number of rexcr = 5 x 105. if the airplane maintains its 400 -mph speed but descends to sea-level elevation, (b) estimate the extent of the laminar boundary layer flow. (c) will the portion of the wing covered by a laminar boundary layer increase or decrease compared with its value at 10,000 ft?

Orque can be calculated by multiplying the force (n) applied at 90? to the lever arm at a distance (m) from the pivot point (point of rotation), the compound si unit for the torque is n? m. if the force (at 90? to the lever arm) applied is 15 n and it is applied at 2.0 m from the pivot point (point of rotation), what is the torque on the lever?

Which diagram correctly demonstrates the various forces acting on a ball moving horizontally with some speed?

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?
