A horizontal board of negligible thickness and area 2.0 m2 hangs from a spring scale that reads 80 N when a 4.0 m/s wind moves beneath the board. The air above the board is stationary. What does the scale read when the wind stops? The density of air is 1.25 kg/m3 .

Respuesta :

Answer:

Scale reading for no wind [tex]W'=60N[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Area [tex]A= 2.0 m^2[/tex]

Weight of board [tex]W=80[/tex]

Velocity [tex]V=4.0m/s[/tex]

Density of air [tex]\delta= 1.25 kg/m3 .[/tex]

Generally the equation for pressure difference by Bernoulli equation is mathematically given by

  [tex]dP=\frac{1}{2}pv^2[/tex]

  [tex]dP=10Pa[/tex]

Generally force acting on the board by air is mathematically given by

[tex]F=\triangle PA[/tex]

[tex]F=(10)2=>20N[/tex]

Therefore

Scale reading for no wind W'

[tex]W'=W-F\\W'=80-20[/tex]

[tex]W'=60N[/tex]

Scale reading for no wind W'=60N
