This hole was then filled with lead. Hint: Consider this equation when answering the questions that follow: [(Density of wood) x (Volume of wooden block without lead)] + [(Density of lead) x (Volume of lead)] = Total mass of block a. Calculate the total mass of the wooden block containing the lead b. Calculate the new density of the wooden block containing the lead. c. Will this block sink or float when placed in water? Explain your answer. d. Consider the situation when the original wooden block (32 cm³ of pure wood) is drilled with a hole of a certain volume and filled completely with lead such that it results in a state where the block is just about to sink in water. What would the volume of this hole need to…
In unidirectional composites, cylindrical fibers are considered to be packed in square or hexagonal arrays and fibers are assumed to be touching each other as shown in figure below for making a simpler mathematical model. These two simple packing models are used to establish theoretical upper bound for fiber volume fractions in the composites. By selecting representative area elements (repeating unit cell) having edge length 'a0' and fiber radius 'r', compute fiber and matrix volume fractions in a square array with circular cross section of the reinforcement.

The capillary pressure of a rock was measured in the lab using water mercury system where the IFT is 35 dyne/cm and the measured contact angle is 10°. Convert a pressure of 600 kPa, obtained using mercury-water system, to a reservoir pressure if the IFT value of oil-water is 25 dyne/cm with 35 degrees contact angle. (kPa)
In Take-Home Experiment: Inhalation, we measured the average flow rate of air traveling through the trachea during each inhalation. Now calculate the average air speed in meters per second through your trachea during each inhalation. The radius of the trachea in adult humans is approximately 10-2 m. From the data above, calculate the Reynolds number for the air flow in the trachea during inhalation. Do you expect the air flow to be laminar or turbulent?
Water flows steady through the piping junction as shown below, as it enters section 1 at 20 gpm. The average velocity at section 2 is 1.5 m/s. A portion of the flow is diverted through the showerhead, which has 100 holes of 1- mm diameter. Assuming uniform flow through the showerhead, calculate (a) the flow rate at section 2, and (b) the exit velocity from the showerhead holes. O d1 = 2 cm e d2 = 2 cm

Local authorities of Ankara built a basin as cylindrical tank with an upper diameter D1 = 1500m, lower diameter D2 = 750m and height H = 25m, in Ankara as shown in the figure. Nowadays we face out drought periods, the water height in the basin is at the level of 9 m. This value should not fall below 5 m (critical point). Regional officials estimate that the consumption rate in the city is 71620 m / day from the pipe with 2 m in diameter, and the water inlet flow rate from various source (rainfall, current) to the basin will be 150000 m3/ day. The independent variable shows the time in t days, and how long does the water level in the tank (basin) reach the critical value?(ρ = 1000kg / m3)
