An incompressible liquid flows through a straight horizontal pipe. Friction of the fluid within the pipe causes a small amount of heat to be transferred from the fluid; to compensate, flow work must be done on the fluid to move it through the system (so W(dot)fl is greater than zero. a) How are V(dot)in and V(dot)out related, where V(dot) is the volumetric flow rate of the liquid? (Remember, fluid is incompressible) b) How must the pressures of Pin and Pout...

(1) A block is placed on a wooden plank, which is initially horizontal. One end of the plank is slowly raised to make it more and more inclined, and for a while the block stays in place on the plank and doesn't slide due to static friction. Finally, when the plank reaches an incline of 56.3o above horizontal, the block begins to slide. What is the  coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank? (2) Continuing the story... after...

You are standing on a slope of 20 degrees to the horizontal and are going to throw a ball at vi=20 m/s up the incline. If you throw the ball at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the horizontal at what distance up the incline from your feet does it land? Assume the ball leaves your hand directly overhead, h=2.0 m above the slope. I know the horizontal velocity = 14.14 m/s and the vertical velocity also =...

A 2.20-kg object is attached to a spring and placed on frictionless, horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 18.0 N is required to hold the object at rest when it is pulled 0.200 m from its equilibrium position (the origin of the x axis). The object is now released from rest from this stretched position, and it subsequently undergoes simple harmonic oscillations. (a) Find the force constant of the spring. N/m (b) Find the frequency of the oscillations. Hz (c)...
