Question

A 73-mm-diamter aluminum (SG=2.64) piston of 100-mm length resides in a stationary 75-mm-diameter steel tube lined with glycerin. A mass of 4 kg is suspended from the free end of the piston. The piston is set into motion by cutting the support cord. What is the terminal velocity of mass m?

Step 1

The piston has a diameter Dₚ = 73 mm = 0.073 m and length L = 100 mm = 0.1 m. The tube has an inner diameter Dₜ = 75 mm = 0.075 m. (The lubricant fills the narrow annular gap between the piston and the tube.) Show more…
