A Carnot engine has a power output of 150 kW. The engine operates between two reservoirs at 20.0°C and 500°
Nookie1986 [14]
Efficiency η of a Carnot engine is defined to be: 
<span>η = 1 - Tc / Th = (Th - Tc) / Th </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>Tc is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir, and </span>
<span>Th is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir. </span>

<span>In this case, given is η=22% and Th - Tc = 75K </span>
<span>Notice that although temperature difference is given in °C it has same numerical value in Kelvins because magnitude of the degree Celsius is exactly equal to that of the Kelvin (the difference between two scales is only in their starting points). </span>

<span>Th = (Th - Tc) / η </span>
<span>Th = 75 / 0.22 = 341 K (rounded to closest number) </span>
<span>Tc = Th - 75 = 266 K </span>

<span>Lower temperature is Tc = 266 K </span>
<span>Higher temperature is Th = 341 K</span>

ASTM A229 oil-tempered carbon steel is used for a helical coil spring. The spring is wound with D = 50 mm d = 10.0 mm, and a pit
horrorfan [7]

Answer

given,

D = 50 mm = 0.05 m

d = 10 mm = 0.01 m

Force to compress the spring

F = \dfrac{d^4G\delta}{8D^3N}

\dfrac{\delta}{N} = p - d = 14 - 10 = 4 mm

F = \dfrac{d^4G}{8D^3}\times 0.004

F = \dfrac{0.1^4\times 79\times 10^9}{8\times 0.05^3}\times 0.004

     F = 3160 N

stress correction factor from stress correction curve is equal to 1.1

now, calculation of corrected stress

\tau = \dfrac{8FDk_s}{\pi d^3}

\tau = \dfrac{8\times 3160 \times 0.05 \times 1.1}{\pi \times 0.01^3}

              = 442.6 Mpa

The tensile strength of the steel material of  ASTM A229 is equal to 1300 Mpa

now,

\tau_s \leq 0.45 S_u

\tau_s \leq 0.45 \times 1300

\tau_s \leq 585\ Mpa

since corrected stress is less than the \tau_s

hence, spring will return to its original shape.

Two identical conducting spheres each having a radius of 0.500 cm are connected by a light, 1.90-m-long conducting wire. A charg
Ivan

Answer: 4.19 N

Explanation: In order to determinate the tension applied on the wire we have to calculate the electric force between the conductor spheres connected by the wire.

As the wire is a conductor the spheres are at same potential so we have:

V1=V2

V1=k*Q1/r1 and V2=k*Q2/r2

where r1=r2, then

Q1=Q2

so the electric force is given by:

F=k*Q^2/d^2  where d is the distance between the spheres.

Finally replacing the values,  we have

F=9*10^9(41*10^-6)^2/(1.9)^2= 4.19 N
