Newton s Second Law and Variable Mass When the mass m of a bod moving through a force field is variable, Newton s second law takes on the form: If the net force acting on a bod is not zero, then the net force F is equal to the time rate of change of momentum of the bod.

Assume that the positive direction is upward, air resistance is proportional to the instantaneous velocit v of the rocket, and R is the upward thrust or force generated b the propulsion sstem. *Note that when m is constant, this is the same as F ma.

Rotating Fluid As shown in FIGURE.3.23(a), a right-circular clinder partiall filled with fluid is rotated with a constant angular velocit v about a vertical -ais through its center. The rotating fluid is a surface of revolution S. To identif S we first establish a coordinate sstem consisting of a vertical plane determined b the -ais and an -ais drawn perpendicular to the -ais such that the point of intersection of the aes (the origin) is located at the lowest point on the surface S. We then seek a function f (), which represents the curve C of intersection of the surface S and the vertical coordinate plane.

Raindrops Keep Falling In meteorolog, the term virga refers to falling raindrops or ice particles that evaporate before the reach the ground. Assume that a tpical raindrop is spherical in shape. Starting at some time, which we can designate as t 0, the raindrop of radius r 0 falls from rest from a cloud and begins to evaporate. (a) If it is assumed that a raindrop evaporates in such a manner that its shape remains spherical, then it also makes sense to assume that the rate at which the raindrop evaporates that is, the rate at which it loses mass is proportional to its surface area. Show that this latter assumption implies that the rate at which the radius r of the raindrop decreases is a constant. Find r(t). [Hint: See Problem in Eercises..] (b) If the positive direction is downward, construct a mathematical model for the velocit v of the falling raindrop at time t. Ignore air resistance.
