hopper drops gravel at a rate of 80.0 kg/s onto a conveyor belt that moves at a constant speed v 1.80 m/s. Determine the additional force (over and above internal friction) needed to keep the conveyor belt moving as gravel falls on it a. 80.0 N b. 144.0 N 44.4 N d)784.0 N e. 436.0 N f. None of the above. The correct answer is
Fluid Mechanics Fluid Mechanics 5. (20 points) A horizontal conveyor belt moving at 3 m/s receives sand from a container. The sand falls vertically from the container to the belt at a speed of 1.5 m/s and a flow rate of 200 kg/s. The conveyor belt is initially empty but begins to fill with sand. If the friction in the drive system and rollers is negligible. find the force required to pull the belt while the conveyor is filling. sand...
