A 60-kg runner raises his center of mass approximately 0.5 m with each step. Although his leg muscles act as a spring, recapturi

ng the energy each time his feet touch down, there’s an average 10% loss with each compression. What must the runner’s additional power output be to account for just this loss, if he averages 0.8 s per stride?

Answer: P = 36.75W

The additional power needed to account for the loss is 36.75W.

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of the runner m= 60 kg

Height of the centre of gravity h= 0.5m

Acceleration due to gravity g= 9.8m/s

The potential energy of the body for each step is;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 60 × 9.8 × 0.5

PE = 294J

Since the average loss per compression on the leg is 10%.

Energy loss = 10% (P.E)

E = 10% of 294J

E = 29.4J

To calculate the runner's additional power

given that time per stride is = 0.8s

Power P = Energy/time

P = E/t

P = 29.4J/0.8s

P = 36.75W

Six moles of an ideal gas are in a cylinder fitted at one end with a movable piston. The initial temperature of the gas is 28.0

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

63.5 °C

Explanation:

The expression for the calculation of work done is shown below as:

$w=P\times \Delta V$

Where, P is the pressure

$\Delta V$ is the change in volume

Also,

Considering the ideal gas equation as:-

$PV=nRT$

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314 J/ K mol

So,

$V=\frac{nRT}{P}$

Also, for change in volume at constant pressure, the above equation can be written as;-

$\Delta V=\frac{nR\times \Delta T}{P}$

So, putting in the expression of the work done, we get that:-

$w=P\times \frac{nR\times \Delta T}{P}=nR\times \Delta T$

Given, initial temperature = 28.0 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T₁ = (28.0 + 273.15) K = 301.15 K

W=1770 J

n = 6 moles

So,

$1770\ J=6 moles\times 8.314\ J/ Kmol \times (T_2-301.15\ K)$

Thus,

$T_2=301.15\ K+\frac{1770}{6\times 8.314}\ K$

$T_2=336.63\ K$

The temperature in Celsius = 336.63-273.15 °C = 63.5 °C

<u>The final temperature is:- 63.5 °C</u>

Direct tension indicators are sometimes used instead of torque wrenches to ensure that a bolt has a prescribed tension when used

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the uploaded image

Answer:

The tension on the shank is $T =8391.6 N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The strain on the strain on the head is $\Delta l = 0.1 mm/mm = \frac{0.1}{1000} = 0.1 *10^{-3} m/m$

The contact area is $A = 2.8 mm^2 = 2.8* (\frac{1}{1000} )^2 = 2.8*10^{-6} m^2$

Looking at the first diagram

At 600 MPa of stress

The strain is $0.3mm/mm$

At 450 MPa of stress

The strain is $0.0015 mm/mm$

To find the stress at $\Delta l$ we use the interpolation method

$\frac{\sigma_{\Delta l} - \sigma_{0.0015} }{ \sigma _ {0.3} - \sigma_{0.0015} } = \frac{e_{\Delta l } - e_{0.0015}}{e_{0.3} - e_{ 0.0015}}$

Substituting values

$\frac{\sigma _{\Delta l} - 450}{600 - 450} = \frac{0.1 -0.0015}{0.3 - 0.0015}$

$\sigma _{\Delta l} -450 = 49.50$

$\sigma _{\Delta l} = 499.50 MPa$

Generally the force on each head is mathematically represented as

$F = \sigma_{\Delta l} * A$

Substituting values

$F = 499.50*10^{6} * 2.8*10^{-6}$

$=1398.6N$

Now the tension on the bolt shank is as a result of the force on the 6 head which is mathematically evaluated as

$T = 6 * F$

$= 6* 1398.6$

$T =8391.6 N$

Air temperature in a desert can reach 58.0°C (about 136°F). What is the speed of sound (in m/s) in air at that temperature?

Veronika [31]

The approximate speed of sound in dry (0% humidity) air, in meters per second, at temperatures near 0 °C, can be calculated from

$c_{air} = (331.3+0.606 \upsilon)$

Here

$\upsilon =$ Temperature in Celsius

Replacing with our values we have that

$\upsilon=58\° C$

$c_{air} = (331.3+0.606*58)$

$c_{air} = 366.1m/s$

Therefore the speed of sound in air at that temperature is 366.1m/s
