A square is a regular quadrilateral, which means that it has four equal sides and four equal angles (90-degree angles, or right angles). A perimeter of a ... more
A regular polygon is a polygon that is equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and equilateral (all sides have the same length). Regular polygons may ... more
The capstan equation or belt friction equation, also known as Eytelwein’s formula, relates the hold-force to the load-force if a flexible line is ... more
A cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex.
The cube is also a square

In solid mechanics, torsion is the twisting of an object due to an applied torque. The torsion constant is a geometrical property of a bar’s cross-section ... more
Circular segment is a region of a circle which is “cut off” from the rest of the circle by a secant or a chord. More formally, a Circular ... more
Strategy
We can use the Reynolds number equation calculate N’R , since all values in it are either given or can be found in tables of density and viscosity.
Solution
We first find the kinematic viscosity values:
Substituting values into the equation for N’R yields:
Discussion
This value is sufficiently high to imply a turbulent wake. Most large objects, such as airplanes and sailboats, create significant turbulence as they move. As noted before, the Bernoulli principle gives only qualitatively-correct results in such situations.
