How many images will be formed if two mirrors placed at 60 degree angle?
5
Why are pins placed far apart in the experiment to find the angle of incidence?
the pins were placed as possible to decrease thepossibilityof the range of the lines that will appear to pass through the two points
How does a helicopter rise into the air?
Simple answer: By blowing air at the ground. Long answer: Air moving in the right way can have immense force behind it. Hurricanes can flatten trees, tornadoes can pick up cows and jet aircraft can use a directed jet of air to propel itself. The Rotor blades of a helicopters are like a massive, high powered fan that blows air downwards. Each rotor blade has an airfoil profile (similar shape to the cross section of an airplanes wing), so as the rotor blade turns it generates lift, just like an airplanes wing. The when the blades turn fast enough the lift forces will be greater than the forces of gravity. The pilot can control this by altering the angle of the blades. As the pilot increases the angle of the blades, more lift will be generated. In practice all helicopters do not have much variation in rotor speed during flight, and the rotor speeds are a lot slower than most people realise. But there's a problem known as Torque Reaction. If you just have a single main rotor, then as the helicopters blades starts to get to a state where lift from the blades equal the forces of gravity, the helicopter will start to spin on the spot. (A visual thing to see this in action is watch the film Black Hawk Down, when the helicopter gets shot and loses its tail rotor). To balance the forces induced by torque reaction, most helicopters have a tail rotor at the end of the tail boom. The tail rotor blades have a variable angle controlled by the pilot, like the main rotors. Adjusting the angle of blades will balance the forces of torque reaction. Altering this angle in a hover will allow the helicopter to turn on the spot.
How does the helicopter stay stationary in the air?
Two things keep a helicopter flying, and another keeps it flying straight. To take off: 1) The blades are shaped like the wings of an airplane and create a difference in pressure (high underneath the wing, low above). This difference in pressure "pushes" the helicopter upwards (lift). But because of gravity, however, there might not be enough lift to take off from the ground. 2) In order to take off, the blades must rotate at supersonic speeds (to be stronger than gravity's push downwards), this make it possible to gain altitude. To "Fly:" 1) A helicopter's blades in air act like a boat's propeller in water. If the blades rotate at an angle, it will start moving. To make the helicopter hover, the blades must be perfectly straight up. At the same time, the rotating blades make the helicopter itself rotate the other way (about the axis of rotation). In a GPS, the helicopter would not be going anywhere like this (with no angle on the blades), but the Direction at which it is looking will be changing in circles 2) Helicopters need a way to fix this crazy-out-of-control spinning. They can use a tail rotor for this, but they can also use a "twin" set of blades that rotate in opposite directions (counter-rotating blades). With the addition of counter-spinning blades, now the GPS will be pointing at 1 direction. in summary: 1) By keeping the blades rotating fast enough to be lifting with the same force as gravity is pushing down, the altitude is kept the same. 2) By keeping the Blades from spinning at an angle, the Helicopter does not move to the sides. 3) By using a counter-rotating blades set, the helicopter is able to keep looking at one direction. with these 3 things, Helicopter are able to hover in air, and their GPS can be kept and a fixed height, at fixed position on a map, and at a fixed direction.
How do the blades make windmills go so fast?
because it is on the perfect angle to be hit by the wind and to spin quicker, also, windmills are already put into positions where there are more likely to have wind passing by.
What is the efficient angle on a windmill blades?
5 degrees, but be careful if you have too much wind converted to 15
How do you make a windmill?
A simple windmill consists of a vertical post with two rotating hubs - one vertical, one horizontal - attached at the top. Each hub is attached to the other, allowing the windmill to rotate horizontally and point into the wind. The vertical hub has slats attached radially to it, each one at a slight angle. As the wind passes over the slats, the Bernoulli principle (high pressure/low pressure) causes the vertical hub to rotate. By itself, a windmill is just decorative, but if big enough, it can be used to rotate grist stones in mills, run pumps, etc.
What angle should garden shear blades have?
90
What is blade pitch of a helicopter?
The angle of the rotor blades.
What makes a clipper do its job?
The angle of cut and tight fit of the blades.
What increases the thrust of an helicopter?
The 'angle of incidence ' of the rotor blades and blade speed.
What is angle of friction?
The angle of friction is defined as the angle of a plane where a body placed on the plane will start to slide.
What will increase when you increase pitch angle rotor blades?
A: The pitch angle is a speed factor and also a torque factor. Increasing or decreasing the angle will effect these factors inversely
What is the rotor head for?
The rotor head changes the angle of incidence of the rotor blades as they rotate.
What is the angle in 6 blade fan?
six blades of a fan divide 360 degrees into six segments. each angular segment therefore is of 60 degrees each. So angle between blades of a 6 blade fan is 60 degrees.
Which windmill blade shape is the most effective?
airplane shape flat on one side round on the other at 5 deg angle
Why are canoe paddles feathered ie blades at different angles?
The blades are at different angles so that there is less wind resistance and you don't have to move the paddle as much to get it into the water at the appropriate angle.
