Question

1. A small steel sphere falls with a terminal velocity in a viscousfluid of 2.00 cm/s. If the radius of the steel sphere is doubled,then what is the terminal velocity of the sphere?

a. 1.00 cm/s
b. 2.00 cm/s
c. 4.00 cm/s
d. 6.0 cm/s
e. 8.00 cm/s

2. A viscous fluid is flowing through a small tube at a rate of2.00 × 104 m3/s. If the pressuredifference between one end of the tube and the other is doubled andthe radius is also doubled, then what is the rate of flow of thefluid?

a. 64 ×104m3/s
b. 56 ×104m3/s
c. 44 ×104m3/s
d. 37 ×104m3/s
e. 26 ×104m3/

Explanation / Answer

1. Answser : e We know that for the falling spherical steel ball
                 Vsg -Fv -FB = 0                  Vsg- Vfg = 6rv                   (4/3)r3g[s-f] = 6 r vt Therefore we can observe that                     vt r2 ( terminal speed isdirectly proportional to square of the radius )                     vt1/vt2 =(r1/r2)2 Given that             vt1 =2.00cm/s             r1 =r And      vt2 =?             r2 =2r Then        vt2= (r2/r1)2vt1                     = (2r/r)2(2.00cm/s)                     = (4)(2)                     = 8cm/s 2. We know that                   dV/dt = Av Use the above formula for the second one                  Vsg- Vfg = 6rv                   (4/3)r3g[s-f] = 6 r vt Therefore we can observe that                     vt r2 ( terminal speed isdirectly proportional to square of the radius )                     vt1/vt2 =(r1/r2)2 Given that             vt1 =2.00cm/s             r1 =r And      vt2 =?             r2 =2r Then        vt2= (r2/r1)2vt1                     = (2r/r)2(2.00cm/s)                     = (4)(2)                     = 8cm/s 2.
