Chapter 1, Problem 1.21P

Aeronautical engineers measure the pitching moment M0 of a wing and then write it in the following form for vise in other cases: M 0 = β V 2 A C ρ where V is the wing velocity, A the wing area, C the wing chord length, and ρ the air density. What are the dimensions of the coefficient β ?

HW-1-.docx -> Q1/ complete the dimensional formula and SI units for table. US Physical Quantity SI. No Dimensional Formula S.I Unit customary unit Area (A) work (w) 3 Density (d) 4 Speed (s) stress (6) Acceleration (a) Q2/ Suppose we are told that the acceleration a of a particle moving with uniform speed v in a circle of radius r is proportional to some power of r, say r", and some power of v, say vm , also some power of mass, say m". Determine the values of n and m and o Q3/ Show that the expression (x, = x +v, t+ % a t) is dimensionally correct, where X, and x, are the position and a is the acceleration, and t is the time, v is the velocity.
Thermal conductivity k is a measure of the ability of a material to conduct heat. For conduction heat transfer in the x-direction through a surface normal to the x-direction, Fourier’s law of heat conduction is expressed as: Q=-kA.dT/dx   where ?̇ is the rate of heat transfer and A is the area normal to the direction of heat transfer. Determine the primary dimensions of thermal conductivity (k). Look up a value of k and verify that its SI units are consistent with your result. Write a set of primary SI units for k.
Units and dimensions are important in any engineering analysis. This problem is about that. In an old heat transfer textbook, you found the following equation for some specific heat transfer problem. Ə²T Q + əx² λ ƏT Ət You know that T is temperature (K) and x is the x-coordinate, which is measured in meters. You also know that t is time (s) and the book uses as the symbol for thermal conductivity, whose unit is W/m.K. What must be the units of Q and B?
