In the figure, a 1.6-kg weight swings in a vertical circle at the end of a string having negligible weight. The string is 2 m long. If the weight is released with zero initial velocity from a horizontal position, its angular momentum (in kg?m2/s) at the lowest point of its path relative to the center of the circle is approximately

The mass of a high speed train is 4.5×105kg, and it is traveling forward at a velocity of 8.3×101m/s. Given that momentum equals mass times velocity, determine the values of m and n when the momentum of the train (in kg?m/s) is written in scientific notation.?
A wing of a particular airplane is 10 m wide. During flight conditions air at 80 kPa and - 10ºC passes around the wing at 400 m/s. If the wing surface temperature is 80ºC determine: a) how much of the boundary layer is turbulent if the critical Reynolds number is taken as 5 x 10^5, b) the average convective heat transfer coefficient, and c) the heat transfer per unit area.
