    Calculating Rainfall Rate for Basement Flooding Risk | Bernoulli's Equation"

    Homework Statement A very simplified schematic of the rain drainage system for a home is shown. Rain falling on the slanted roof runs off into gutter around the roof edge it then drains through downspouts into a main drainage pipe M below the basement which carries the water to an even larger...

    Can Static and Kinetic Friction Prevent a Car Crash?

    Homework Statement Assume that the driver begins to brake the car when the distance to the wall is d=107m, and take the car's mass as m-1400kg, its initial speed as vo= 35m/s and the static coefficient to be .50. Assume that the car's weight is distributed evenly on the four wheels, even...
