Ahobo hops a freight train traveling at 2.5 m/s due east. the man boards the train from the rear of the boxcar and walks from the southwest corner to the north east corner of the car at a rate of 5.0 m/s. the boxcar is 15 meters long and 3 meters wide. what is the velocity of the man relative to the train tracks?

Since it isn't specified, I have to assume that when he's walking inside, along
the diagonal of the car, at 5m/s, that speed is relative to the floor of the car.
The reason I have to assume that is because I think it makes the problem
easier. I could be wrong. And it's still troubling, because 5 m/s is a hefty
11.18 mph, which is a pretty energetic walk. (In fact, it's a 5min 22sec mile,
which I for one never accomplished, even when I was running.) But so be it.

-- The length of the car's diagonal is √(3² + 15²) = √(9 + 225) = √334

-- The angle of his walk along the diagonal is the angle whose tangent is 3/15.

-- His velocity consists of the components [ 5 cos(angle) east ] and
[ 5 sin(angle) north ].

That's [ 5 x 15/√334 east ] and [ 5 x 3/√334 ] north .

The train's motion adds to the easterly component of his velocity,
and that becomes [ (2.5) + (5 x 15/√334) ] . The train's motion has
no effect on the northerly component of his velocity.

So now we're ready to put the components together and find his velocity
relative to the tracks. I think it'll be easier to go ahead and get the numerical
value of each component, and then combine them.

Easterly component: (2.5) + (5 x 15/√334) = 6.6038 m/s

Northerly component: 5 x 3/√334 = 0.8208 m/s

Just before finding the magnitude, we note that the direction of his velocity
is (the angle whose tangent is 0.8208/6.6038) north of east. That's about
7.085 degrees north of east ...the compass bearing of 82.92 degrees.

Now for the magnitude. It's the square root of the sum of the squares of
the easterly component and the northerly component.

√ (6.6038² + 0.8208²) = √44.2841 = 6.655 m/s

(All numbers are rounded.)

That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.

The inside surface of a cylindrical-shaped cave of inner diameter 1.0 m is continuously covered with a very thin layer of water. the cave is very long and it is open on both ends. the water on the cave surface is at a constant temperature of 15.5 °c. the cave is constantly exposed to wind such that 15.5 °c air flows through the cave at 4.5 m/s. the kinematic viscosity of the air is 14.66 x 10-6 m2/s and the molecular diffusion coefficient of water vapor in the air is 0.239 x 10-4 m2/s. because the cave diameter is so large, the flow of wind down the length of the cave, in the x direction, can be treated like it is external flow and the cave surface can be approximated as flat where appropriate. calculate the x value, in a) the transition to turbulent flow occurs at rex meters, where the air flow transitions from laminar to turbulent along the inside surface of the cave b) calculate the x value, in meters, where the bulk steady state concentration of water vapor in the air flowing in the cave is 10% of the saturation concentration. assume the air at the surface of the water layer is 100% saturated with water vapor. assume the wind entering the cave contained no moisture before it entered the cave. take into account the transition from laminar to turbulent flow when solving part b
