You gently place several steel needles on the free surface of the water in a large tank. The needles come in two lengths: some a

re 5 cm long, and some are 10 cm long. Needles of each length are available with diameters of 1 mm, 2.5 mm, and 5 mm.
Make a prediction as to which needles, if any will float.

Assume contact angle theta = 0. (For water, rho=1000kg/m3, sigma=0.0728 N/m, for steel, SG= 0.83).

A thick aluminum block initially at 26.5°C is subjected to constant heat flux of 4000 W/m2 by an electric resistance heater whos
Yanka [14]

Given Information:

Initial temperature of aluminum block = 26.5°C

Heat flux = 4000 w/m²

Time = 2112 seconds

Time = 30 minutes = 30*60 = 1800 seconds

Required Information:

Rise in surface temperature = ?

Answer:

Rise in surface temperature = 8.6 °C after 2112 seconds

Rise in surface temperature = 8 °C after 30 minutes

Explanation:

The surface temperature of the aluminum block is given by

T_{surface} = T_{initial} + \frac{q}{k} \sqrt{\frac{4\alpha t}{\pi} }

Where q is the heat flux supplied to aluminum block, k is the conductivity of pure aluminum and α is the diffusivity of pure aluminum.

After t = 2112 sec:

T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} \sqrt{\frac{4(9.71\times 10^{-5}) (2112)}{\pi} }\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} (0.51098)\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + 8.6\\\\T_{surface} = 35.1\\\\

The rise in the surface temperature is

Rise = 35.1 - 26.5 = 8.6 °C

Therefore, the surface temperature of the block will rise by 8.6 °C after 2112 seconds.

After t = 30 mins:

T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} \sqrt{\frac{4(9.71\times 10^{-5}) (1800)}{\pi} }\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + \frac{4000}{237} (0.4717)\\\\T_{surface} = 26.5 + 7.96\\\\T_{surface} = 34.5\\\\

The rise in the surface temperature is

Rise = 34.5 - 26.5 = 8 °C

Therefore, the surface temperature of the block will rise by 8 °C after 30 minutes.

A sign erected on uneven ground is guyed by cables EF and EG. If the force exerted by cable EF at E is 46 lb, determine the mome
Vikki [24]

Answer:

M_AD = 1359.17 lb-in

Explanation:

Given:

- T_ef = 46 lb

Find:

- Moment of that force T_ef about the line joining points A and D.

Solution:

- Find the position of point E:

                           mag(BC) = sqrt ( 48^2 + 36^2) = 60 in

                           BE / BC = 45 / 60 = 0.75

Hence,                E = < 0.75*48 , 96 , 36*0.75> = < 36 , 96 , 27 > in

- Find unit vector EF:

                           mag(EF) = sqrt ( (21-36)^2 + (96+14)^2 + (57-27)^2 ) = 115 in

                           vec(EF) = < -15 , -110 , 30 >

                           unit(EF) = (1/115) * < -15 , -110 , 30 >

- Tension            T_EF = (46/115) * < -15 , -110 , 30 > = < -6 , -44 , 12 > lb

- Find unit vector AD:

                           mag(AD) = sqrt ( (48)^2 + (-12)^2 + (36)^2 ) = 12*sqrt(26) in

                           vec(AD) = < 48 , -12 , 36 >

                           unit(AD) = (1/12*sqrt(26)) * < 48 , -12 , 36 >

                           unit (AD) = <0.7845 , -0.19612 , 0.58835 >

Next:

                           M_AD = unit(AD) . ( E x T_EF)

                           M_d = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.7845&-0.19612&0.58835\\36&96&27\\-6&-44&12\end{array}\right]

                            M_AD = 1835.73 + 116.49528 - 593.0568

                            M_AD = 1359.17 lb-in
