1 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,710 Let's consider another example of continuous mass transfer. 2 00:00:06,710 --> 00:00:09,960 Suppose we have a truck, and that truck 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,610 has some type of plow. 4 00:00:12,610 --> 00:00:15,620 And it's plowing snow. 5 00:00:15,620 --> 00:00:18,570 And there's some type of external force acting 6 00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:21,970 on this truck, friction, pushing the truck forward, 7 00:00:21,970 --> 00:00:25,650 so let's just assume we have some type of force, F, 8 00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:26,860 on the truck. 9 00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:29,550 And this is our snow. 10 00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:31,320 And what's happening in this problem 11 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:37,550 is that the truck connects-- picks up the snow. 12 00:00:37,550 --> 00:00:40,420 And then, which is at rest initially, 13 00:00:40,420 --> 00:00:42,990 gets the snow up to the speed of the truck. 14 00:00:42,990 --> 00:00:45,690 And then the snow falls off the plow. 15 00:00:45,690 --> 00:00:47,730 So how do we model this problem? 16 00:00:47,730 --> 00:00:50,430 Well, let's look at our situation at time t. 17 00:00:50,430 --> 00:00:51,930 And what we're going to do is, we're 18 00:00:51,930 --> 00:00:56,350 going to consider a certain mass of snow, delta ms, that's 19 00:00:56,350 --> 00:00:58,070 at rest. 20 00:00:58,070 --> 00:01:01,580 And our truck, it's a fixed mass truck, 21 00:01:01,580 --> 00:01:07,010 is moving with a velocity vt at time t, the truck. 22 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,840 So now, what happens at time t plus delta t? 23 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:22,020 Well, the truck has picked up the mass of the snow. 24 00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:24,730 And the truck has now changed its speed. 25 00:01:24,730 --> 00:01:29,360 So that's at time t plus delta t. 26 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,850 And now we want to write down our momentum law. 27 00:01:33,850 --> 00:01:36,990 So we have our external force. 28 00:01:36,990 --> 00:01:40,250 Let's call this the plus i hat direction. 29 00:01:40,250 --> 00:01:45,280 We have our external force is equal to the limit 30 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,039 as delta t goes to 0 of the momentum at time t. 31 00:01:50,039 --> 00:01:52,250 So we have t plus delta t, so what 32 00:01:52,250 --> 00:01:58,890 we have is the mass of the truck plus delta ms times 33 00:01:58,890 --> 00:02:03,620 v of t plus delta t. 34 00:02:03,620 --> 00:02:05,150 And we have to subtract from it. 35 00:02:05,150 --> 00:02:07,230 That's divided by delta t. 36 00:02:07,230 --> 00:02:11,410 And we have to subtract from this the moment at time t. 37 00:02:11,410 --> 00:02:13,180 The snow is at rest, only the truck 38 00:02:13,180 --> 00:02:21,820 is moving, so we have minus t of vt divided by delta t. 39 00:02:21,820 --> 00:02:26,520 Now, as usual, we're going to say that the truck has changed 40 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,100 its velocity in this interval. 41 00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:34,340 And what we want to do now is write out our equation. 42 00:02:34,340 --> 00:02:40,980 We have F equals the limit as delta t goes to 0. 43 00:02:40,980 --> 00:02:43,760 Now when we write this out, notice 44 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,980 that we're going to have a number of terms here. 45 00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:53,329 We have mt plus delta ms times v plus delta v 46 00:02:53,329 --> 00:02:59,329 of the truce-- that's the first term-- divided by delta t. 47 00:02:59,329 --> 00:03:02,870 And the second term is just minus mass of the truck, 48 00:03:02,870 --> 00:03:06,220 vt over delta t. 49 00:03:06,220 --> 00:03:08,560 Well, first off, we see some cancellations 50 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,880 between this term, this, and that. 51 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,550 And what we're left with is limit as delta t goes to 0. 52 00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:22,010 We have the snow term, delta ms over delta t times the truck. 53 00:03:22,010 --> 00:03:23,900 Now, here we have a term, which we're 54 00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:25,560 going to analyze in a moment. 55 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,540 It has two infinitesimal quantities. 56 00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:31,090 And this term is of second order, 57 00:03:31,090 --> 00:03:33,680 which we're going to neglect. 58 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,945 And finally, we have the term of mass 59 00:03:36,945 --> 00:03:43,480 of the truck times delta vt delta t. 60 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,980 So, neglecting this second-order term 61 00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:48,890 in differentials, what we get when 62 00:03:48,890 --> 00:03:53,430 we take the limit is, that we get the force is the rate 63 00:03:53,430 --> 00:03:57,300 that the snow is being picked up times v of the truck, 64 00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:04,500 plus mass of the truck, times v truck, dt. 65 00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:07,600 Now, the only issue that we have to think about here 66 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,090 is about the rate that the truck, the snow, 67 00:04:11,090 --> 00:04:12,530 is being picked up. 68 00:04:12,530 --> 00:04:14,560 So that's our last consideration, 69 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,540 but this will be our differential equation 70 00:04:18,540 --> 00:04:24,310 for adding mass, continually, to a system. 71 00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:28,570 So, when we found our equations for describing the rate 72 00:04:28,570 --> 00:04:31,270 that the truck changes its speed-- the snowplow when it's 73 00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:34,260 pushing snow away, we wrote down our equation 74 00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:37,040 in terms of the external force on the truck, the rate that 75 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,400 snow is being picked up by the truck, the velocity 76 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,030 of the truck, the mass of the truck, 77 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:42,863 the rate of change of velocity of the truck. 78 00:04:42,863 --> 00:04:48,470 If we multiply our equation through by dt, 79 00:04:48,470 --> 00:04:52,200 we have the following equation. 80 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,070 And now what we want to consider is 81 00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:58,490 we want to focus on how much dms is picked up 82 00:04:58,490 --> 00:05:01,840 in our infinitesimal time, dt. 83 00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:06,470 So one way to think about that is, let's do a little drawing. 84 00:05:06,470 --> 00:05:10,380 So here's our truck. 85 00:05:10,380 --> 00:05:13,650 And let's say at time t-- the plow is right here, 86 00:05:13,650 --> 00:05:16,420 so here's the picture at time t. 87 00:05:16,420 --> 00:05:22,750 And let's draw some snow here. 88 00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:25,210 Here in New England we have lots of snow. 89 00:05:25,210 --> 00:05:30,700 And at time t plus delta t, the truck 90 00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:33,428 has moved a certain distance. 91 00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:43,560 And so, this quantity is the amount of snow 92 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,880 that's picked up by the truck and displaced. 93 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:53,010 Now, the truck has moved a distance v truck delta t. 94 00:05:53,010 --> 00:05:57,080 And so, we can identify the delta ms, which in the limit 95 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,070 will be dms, is equal to the density of snow times 96 00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:04,780 the cross sectional area of the plow, 97 00:06:04,780 --> 00:06:10,870 times the length v of truck delta t. 98 00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:13,820 And so now we have an expression for the rate 99 00:06:13,820 --> 00:06:18,170 that the mass is being picked up in this time interval. 100 00:06:18,170 --> 00:06:24,920 And we can write that in the following way. 101 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,440 That we see that our differential equation 102 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:40,200 Fdt equals dms, which is rho A vt, 103 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,670 times dt-- This will be a small interval, 104 00:06:43,670 --> 00:06:52,300 we're taking a limit now-- times another vt plus mt dvt. 105 00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:55,570 Now, we can bring this term over to the other side. 106 00:06:55,570 --> 00:07:01,800 And so we have F minus rho A vt squared 107 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:10,290 times dt equals the mass of the truck times dvt. 108 00:07:10,290 --> 00:07:12,860 And the mass of the truck, in this case, is fixed. 109 00:07:12,860 --> 00:07:13,780 Why? 110 00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:16,640 Because when the snow gets into the truck, 111 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,955 at the end of this delta t time interval, 112 00:07:18,955 --> 00:07:21,730 it gets displaced to the side. 113 00:07:21,730 --> 00:07:25,680 So this is an equation that we can separate and integrate. 114 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:33,550 So we have dt is equal to mt divided by F minus rho 115 00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:40,650 A vt squared dvt, and we integrate 116 00:07:40,650 --> 00:07:44,659 from some initial time and some final time. 117 00:07:44,659 --> 00:07:48,070 And here, we're integrating from v of truck 118 00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:52,490 from some t initial time to some final time. 119 00:07:52,490 --> 00:07:58,830 And that's our integral version for our-- finding the velocity. 120 00:07:58,830 --> 00:08:02,050 This interval is an interval that's not hard to do, 121 00:08:02,050 --> 00:08:04,380 that you should try as an exercise 122 00:08:04,380 --> 00:08:06,477 in elementary calculus.
