The position of a particle moving along a straight line is defined by the relation. s = t^3 – 6t^2 – 15t + 40, where s is expres

sed in feet and t in seconds. Determine:(a) s when t = 3 seconds.(b) v when t = 5 seconds. (c) a when t = 4 seconds.(d) the time when the velocity is equal to zero. What is important about this information?

Answer:

1) s(3) = -32 feet.

2)v(5) = 3 feet/sec

3)a(4) = 12feet/s^{2}

4) Velocity becomes zero at t = 5 seconds

Explanation:

Given that position as a function of time is

s(t)=t^{3}-6t^{2}-15t+40

Now by definition of velocity we have

v=\frac{ds}{dt}\\\\v=\frac{d}{dt}(t^{3}-6t^{2}-15t+40)\\\\\therefore v(t)=3t^{2}-12t-15

Now by definition of acceleration we have

a=\frac{dv}{dt}\\\\a=\frac{d}{dt}(3t^{2}-12t-15)\\\\\therefore a(t)=6t-12

Applying values of time in corresponding equations we get

1) s(3)=3^{3}-6\times (3)^{2}-15\times 3+40=-32feet

2)v(5)=3\times {5}^{2}-12\times 5-15=3feet/sec

3)a(4)=6\times 4-12=12ft/s^{2}

4)To obatin the time at which velocity is zero equate the velocity function with zero we get

3t^{2}-12t-15=0\\\\t^{2}-4t-5=0\\\\t^{2}-5t+t-5=0\\\\t(t-5)+1(t-5)=0\\\\(t-5)(t+1)=0\\\\\therefore t=5\\\\or\\\therefore t=-1

Thus the correct time is 5 seconds at which velocity becomes zero.

A well-insulated tank in a vapor power plant operates at steady state. Saturated liquid water enters at inlet 1 at a rate of 125
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) \dot m_{3} = 135\,\frac{lbm}{s}, b) h_{3}=168.965\,\frac{BTU}{lbm}, c) T = 200.829\,^{\textdegree}F

Explanation:

a) The tank can be modelled by the Principle of Mass Conservation:

\dot m_{1} + \dot m_{2} - \dot m_{3} = 0

The mass flow rate exiting the tank is:

\dot m_{3} = \dot m_{1} + \dot m_{2}

\dot m_{3} = 125\,\frac{lbm}{s} + 10\,\frac{lbm}{s}

\dot m_{3} = 135\,\frac{lbm}{s}

b) An expression for the specific enthalpy at outlet is derived from the First Law of Thermodynamics:

\dot m_{1}\cdot h_{1} + \dot m_{2} \cdot h_{2} - \dot m_{3}\cdot h_{3} = 0

h_{3} = \frac{\dot m_{1}\cdot h_{1}+\dot m_{2}\cdot h_{2}}{\dot m_{3}}

Properties of water are obtained from tables:

h_{1}=180.16\,\frac{BTU}{lbm}

h_{2}=28.08\,\frac{BTU}{lbm} + \left(0.01604\,\frac{ft^{3}}{lbm}\right)\cdot (14.7\,psia-0.25638\,psia)

h_{2}=29.032\,\frac{BTU}{lbm}

The specific enthalpy at outlet is:

h_{3}=\frac{(125\,\frac{lbm}{s} )\cdot (180.16\,\frac{BTU}{lbm} )+(10\,\frac{lbm}{s} )\cdot (29.032\,\frac{BTU}{lbm} )}{135\,\frac{lbm}{s} }

h_{3}=168.965\,\frac{BTU}{lbm}

c) After a quick interpolation from data availables on water tables, the final temperature is:

T = 200.829\,^{\textdegree}F
