Finding the work done in pulling a stranded climber to safety. In an unfortunate accident, a rock climber finds herself stuck 17

m from the top of a 80 m rock face. Rescuers sent to help the climber lower a harness attached to a cable that will pull the climber to the top of the rock face. If the climber, secured in the harness, weighs 56 kg and the cable weighs 0.7kgm, how much work is done in raising the climber, harness, and cable to the top of the rock face? Note: the weight of the climber and cable is really a mass so you will need to multiply the mass in kg by the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8ms2).

Answer:

-9446.22 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of climber and harness = 56kg

Mass of cable = 0.7kg

Distance between climber and top of rock face = 17m

The work done in pulling the climber is given as:

W = F * d

F is the force applied on the rope. It is opposite the force of gravity pulling the climber, hence, it is given as:

F = -Fg

Fg = force of gravity

Fg = m * g

g = acceleration due to gravity.

The mass of the climber, harness and cable = 56 + 0.7 = 56.7kg

=> Fg = 56.7 * 9.8

Fg = 555.66 N

Therefore, the work done will be:

W = - 555.66 * 17

W = -9446.22 J

The negative value of work means that the work done is opposite the value of the force acting on the climber.

A single insulated duct flow experiment using air operating at steady-state is performed in a lab. One measurement location (Sta
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a) -0.0934 kJ/kg. K

b) The direction of flow is from right to left.

Explanation:

A free flow diagram of the horizontal insulated duct is as shown below.

NOW,

Let assume that the direction of flow is from left to right and consider the following relation for the entropy rate balance equation for a control volume as:

\frac{\sigma_{cv}}{m}= (s_2-s_1) \geq  0 \ \ \ -------> \ \ \ 1

Now; if the value for this relation is greater than zero; then we conclude that our assumption is correct.

If the value is less than zero; then we conclude that the assumption is wrong.

Then, the flow is said to be  in the opposite direction

Formula for the change in specific entropy can be calculated as:

s_2-s_1 = s^0(T_2) - s^0(T_1)-R \ In ( \frac{P_2}{P-1}) \ \ \  ------->  \ \ \ 2

where;

s_1, s_2 , s^0(T_2), s^0(T1) are specific entropies

R = universal gas constant

P_1 = pressure at location 1

P_2 = pressure at location 2

We obtain the specific properties of air at temperature at T_1 = (67°C + 273)K = 340 K from the table A-22 ( Ideal gas properties of air)

s^0(T1) = 1.8279 kJ/kg.K

We also obtain the specific properties of air at temperature T_2 = 22°C + 273) K = 295 K

From the table A- 22

s^0(T_2) = 1.68515 kJ/kg . K

R = \frac{8.314 kJ}{28.97 kg.K}

P_1 = 0.95 bar

P_2 = 0.8 bar

Now replacing our values  into equation (2) from above; we have;

s_2-s_1 = s^0(T_2) -s^0(T_1)-R \ In (\frac{P_2}{P_1} )

s_2-s_1 = 1.68515 -1.8279-\frac{8.314}{28.97}  \ In (\frac{0.8}{0.95} )

s_2-s_1 = 1.68515 -1.8279+ 0.0493

s_2-s_1 =-0.0934 \  kJ/kg.K

Equating our result to equation (1)

s_2-s_1 \geq 0\\-0.0934 \leq 0

Therefore , our assumption is wrong and the direction of flow is said to be from right to left.

We therefore conclude that the direction of flow is from right to left.
