Q.

The mean pressure is 6K5 in SI unit, which rain renders to vertical windshield of automobile, moving with constant velocity of magnitude v=12 m/s. Consider that raindrops fall vertically with speed  u=5 m/s. The intensity of rainfall deposits h=2cm of sediments in time τ=1  minute. [ρ=103kg/m3 is the density of liquid] (Assume collisions are perfectly inelastic). Calculate K.

Detailed Solution

Let in time t, m mass of liquid collides with windshield. So
F=|pfpit|=|0mvt|=mvt
λdensity of liquid molecules in air so
m=Svt×λ=Svλt
Where S surface area of the windshield
F=Sv2λMean  pressure=FS=λv2.....(1)
Now as we assumed that λ is the density of liquid molecules of drops in air so in τ time UτS0 volume of liquid will strikes on the surface of earth so mass of liquid strikes on the earth in time interval τ will be
m0=S0uτλS0ρh=S0uτλλ=ρhuτ
Putting this value in equation (1), we have
Mean pressure =ρhv2uτ=485
