AI Thread Summary
To calculate the net force on a flat roof due to wind blowing at 35 m/s, Bernoulli's equation is applied. The dynamic pressure is determined using the formula for dynamic pressure, which is half the product of air density and the square of wind velocity. The pressure difference between the outside air and the air inside the house is then used to find the net force on the roof. The net force can be calculated by multiplying the pressure difference by the roof area of 240 m². This approach effectively utilizes fluid dynamics principles to solve the problem.

Homework Statement



If wind blows at 35 m/s over a house, what is the net force on the roof if its area is 240m^2 and is flat?


Homework Equations




Bernoulli's equation.


The Attempt at a Solution



I have no idea how to belgin =|

I think you can use dynamic pressure = \frac{density * velocity^2}{2}

Then use pressure = force/area.
 
To find the net force on the roof, compare the reduced pressure of the moving outside air to the pressure of the air within the house.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
