An annoying feature of a ****** curtain is that it blows inwards when one is taking a hot ******. If the temperature within the ****** cubicle is 30°C and the general air temperature in the bathroom is 15°C, calculate the angle e it would reach when blowing inwards. The ****** cubicle is 1 m square in plan and 2 m in height. The effective width of the ****** curtain is thus 1 m and its length 2 m. The mass of the curtain is 400 g.

Assume that the temperature everywhere within the ****** cubicle (below the level of the curtain support rod) is the same and neglect any effect of the water spray or the person or any deflection of the curtain. Assume also that the air temperature above the ****** cubicle is the same as that in the bathroom, that is, it has no influence.

To calculate the angle at which the ****** curtain blows inwards due to the temperature difference, we can consider the forces acting on the curtain. The most significant force here is the buoyancy force caused by the temperature difference between the air inside the ****** cubicle and the air in the bathroom.

The buoyancy force \(F_b\) can be calculated using the formula:

\[ F_b = V \times \rho \times g \times \Delta T \]

where:

• \( V \) is the volume of the air displaced by the curtain (equal to the volume of the ****** cubicle below the curtain support rod, which is 1m x 1m x 2m = 2 m³),
• \( \rho \) is the density of air (approximately 1.2 kg/m³),
• \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²),
• \( \Delta T \) is the temperature difference inside and outside of the ****** cubicle (30°C - 15°C = 15°C).

Substitute the values into the formula:

\[ F_b = 2 \, \text{m³} \times 1.2 \, \text{kg/m³} \times 9.81 \, \text{m/s²} \times 15 \, \text{°C} = 353.16 \, \text{N} \]

Next, we can calculate the point of application of the buoyancy force. The center of mass of the curtain is at its geometrical center, which is at a height of 1m. The angle \( \theta \) that the curtain reaches can be calculated by taking moments about the top edge:

\[ F_b \times d \times \sin(\theta) = W \times h \]

where:

• \( d \) is the distance from the point of application of the buoyancy force to the top edge of the curtain (0.5m),
• \( W \) is the weight of the curtain (0.4 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 3.924 N),
• \( h \) is the height of the curtain (2m).

Substitute the values into the equation:

\[ 353.16 \, \text{N} \times 0.5 \, \text{m} \times \sin(\theta) = 3.924 \, \text{N} \times 2 \, \text{m} \]

\[ 176.58 \, \text{N} \times \sin(\theta) = 7.848 \, \text{N} \]

\[ \sin(\theta) = \frac{7.848 \, \text{N}}{176.58 \, \text{N}} \]

\[ \sin(\theta) = 0.0444 \]

\[ \theta = \sin^{-1}(0.0444) \]

\[ \theta \approx 2.55° \]

Therefore, the angle \( \theta \) at which the ****** curtain blows inwards is approximately 2.55°.
