Astudent team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. the overall length of the prototype submarine is 4.85 m, and its student designers hope that it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.440 m/s. the water is freshwater (a lake) at t = 15 °c. the design team builds a one-fifth scale model to test in their university’s wind tunnel. a shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. the air in the wind tunnel is at 25°c and at one standard atmosphere pressure. the students measure the aerodynamic drag on their model submarine in the wind tunnel. they are careful to run the wind tunnel at conditions that ensure similarity with the prototype submarine. their measured drag force is 5.75 n. "estimate the drag force" on the prototype submarine at the given conditions.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

Apiping systems consists of 6 m of 6-std type k and 12 m of 4-std type k, both drawn copper tubing. the system conveys ethylene glycol at a rate of 0.013 m3/s. the pressure drop across the system is to be calculated. there are two 90° elbows in the 6-in pipe, a reduction from the 6-in pipe to the 4-in pipe and four 90° elbows in the 4-in pipe. all fittings are soldered (same as flanged) and regular. the inlet and outlet of the system are at the same height.
