Maximum air velocity in ambient conditions?

AI Thread Summary
The maximum air velocity in ambient conditions can reach sound velocity at the throat of a sonic nozzle. Beyond this point, using a choked converging/diverging nozzle allows for further acceleration of air. This principle is utilized in supersonic wind tunnels to achieve higher velocities. The discussion highlights the mechanics of air flow in nozzles and the potential for supersonic speeds. Understanding these concepts is crucial for applications in aerodynamics and fluid dynamics.

Maximum air velocity in ambient conditions??

Masters what is the maximum air velocity that can be achieved in ambient condition??
In the throat of sonic nozzle it attains sound velocity. Is it possible to attain more? If yes how?? thanks

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
