For a steel ball bearing (diameter 2 mm and density 7.8 g/cm3) dropped in glycerin (density 1.3 g/cm3 and viscosity 12 Ns/m2 at STP), the dominant drag force is the linear drag given by (2.82) of Problem 2.2. (a) Find the characteristic time t and the terminal speed vt. [In finding the latter, you sh

Two types of barrel units were in use in the 1920s in the United States. The apple barrel had a legally set volume of 7056 cubic inches; the cranberry barrel, 5826 cubic inches. If a merchant sells 20 cranberry barrels of goods to a customer who thinks he is receiving apple barrels, what is the discr

Suppose dwelling quality is measured on a scale of 1 to 10, and the monthly cost of producing a particular quality equals the square of the quality level: For quality level 1, the cost is $1; for quality level 2, the cost is $4, and so on. The monthly rent equals the price per unit of quality (P= $9)

Consider the effects of a natural disaster like hurricane Katrina on a metropolitan economy. In the initial (pre hurricane) equilibrium, total employment in the metropolitan area is 500,000 workers and the daily wage is $100. The price elasticity of supply of labor is 4.0 and the price elasticity of
