A membrane consists of a rigid disk of ? = 10 µm thick polycarbonate with 108 identical cylindrical pores, each with ? = 30 nm diameter. The pores pass through the entire membrane thickness normal to the membrane surface. Water (? = 1000 kg/m3 , ? = 10−3 Pa∙s) is forced through the membrane by applying a pressure of 10 atm (absolute) upstream, with 1 atm (absolute) pressure downstream. The pores are sufficiently spaced that flow through each pore is independent of that through all other pores. Furthermore, the pores are sufficiently large that continuum fluid mechanics remains valid. (a) Neglecting minor losses, what is the volume flow rate of water through the membrane? (b) Assuming the flow remains incompressible, what is the maximum pressure difference across the membrane at which the flow would be laminar?

A thin film suspended in air is 0.400 µm thick and is
illuminated with white light incident perpendicularly on its
surface. The index of refraction of the film is 1.58. At what
wavelength will visible light that is reflected from the two
surfaces of the film undergo fully constructive interference?

The soil profile at a site consists of a clay layer 10 m thick,
sandwich between two sand layers. The top sand layer has a density
of 1.9 Mg/m3 and is 5 m thick. Below this layer is a 10 m thick
clay layer with a saturated density of 1.8 Mg/m3 and a saturated
water content 42%. The deeper sand layer has a saturated density of
1.9 Mg/m3 and extend to the depth investigated at the site. The

The erythrocyte membrane consists of different phospholipids
that are asymmetrically distributed across the membrane. Explain
the different lipid composition of the inner and outer leaflets of
the erythrocyte membrane. Which leaflet would you expect to be the
most permeable to Na+ or Cl– ions? Explain your answer.

2. A rigid disk with radius 2 m is spinning at an angular speed
of 8 1/s (or 8 rad/s). A constant angular acceleration is applied
that slows downthe disk at a rate of 2 1/s2(or
2 rad/s2).
(i) Calculate the number of revolutions the disk does before
coming to a full stop.
(ii) Calculate the centripetal acceleration of a point,
positioned at 1 m from the disk rotation axis, at t = 2 s.
(iii) Calculate the tangent speed...

A potter's wheel (a thick stone disk with radius 0.45 m and mass
85 kg) is freely rotating at 52 rev/min. The potter can stop the
wheel in 6.3 seconds by pressing a wet rag against the rim and
exerting a radially inward force of 85 N. What is the coefficient
of kinetic friction between the rag and the wheel?
The Correct answer is 0.19 please explain and show in
why?
