A 40 mph wind is blowing past your house and speeds up as it flows up and over the roof. If the elevation effects are negligible

, determine (a) the pressure at the point on the roof where the speed is 60 mph if the pressure in the free stream blowing toward your house is 14.7 psi. Would this effect tend to push the roof down against the house, or would it tend to lift the roof

The pressure at the point on the roof where the speed is 60mph is 14.66 psi

<u>Explanation:</u>

The question follows Bernoulli's equation

P1 + 1/2 ρ V1² = P2 + 1/2 ρ V2²

V1 = 40 X 5280 / 3600 = 58.7 ft/s

V2 = 60 X 5280 / 3600 = 88 ft/s

P2 = P1 + 1/2 ( 0.00238 ) [(58.7)² - (88)²]

P2 - P1 = -5.12lb/ft²

The negative pressure created tends to lift the roof.

We know,

P1 = 14.7 psi = 2116.8 lb/ft²

P2 = 2116.8 - 5.12 lb/ft²

P2 = 2111.68 lb/ft²

P2 = 14.66 psi

Therefore, the pressure at the point on the roof where the speed is 60mph is 14.66 psi

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

A civil engineer.

Explanation:

Civil engineering is the science that deals with the design, creation and maintenance of constructions for civil use on the earth's surface. Thus, this specialty seeks to adapt soils to the needs of life in society, creating buildings, bridges, and all other constructions adapted to civil life, while taking care of the correct use of soils and the correct distribution of spaces and resources. to be used for such constructions.

A wooden pallet carrying 540kg rests on a wooden floor. (a) a forklift driver decides to push it without lifting it.what force m
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "1481.76 N".

Explanation:

According to the question,

Mass,

m = 540 kg

Coefficient of static friction,

\mu_s = 0.28

Now,

The applied force will be:

⇒ F=\mu_s mg

By substituting the values, we get

       =0.28\times 540\times 9.8

       =1481.76 \ N

Air at 400 kPa, 980 K enters a turbine operating at steady state and exits at 100 kPa, 670 K. Heat transfer from the turbine occ
shusha [124]

Answer:

A)W'/m = 311 KJ/kg

B)σ'_gen/m = 0.9113 KJ/kg.k

Explanation:

a).The energy rate balance equation in the control volume is given by the formula;

Q' - W' + m(h1 - h2) = 0

Dividing through by m, we have;

(Q'/m) - (W'/m) + (h1 - h2) = 0

Rearranging, we have;

W'/m = (Q'/m) + (h1 - h2)

Normally, this transforms to another equation;

W'/m = (Q'/m) + c_p(T1 - T2)

Where;

W'/m is the rate at which power is developed

Q'/m is the rate at which heat is flowing

c_p is specific heat at constant pressure which from tables at a temperature of 980k = 1.1 KJ/kg.k

T1 is initial temperature

T2 is exit temperature

We are given;

Q'/m = -30 kj/kg (negative because it leaves the turbine)

T1 = 980 k

T2 = 670 k

Plugging in the relevant values;

W'/m = -30 + 1.1(980 - 670)

W'/m = 311 KJ/kg

B) The Entropy produced from the entropy balance equation in a control volume is given by the formula;

(Q'/T_boundary) + m(s1 - s2) + σ'_gen = 0

Dividing through by m gives;

((Q'/m)/T_boundary) + (s1 - s2) + σ'_gen/m = 0

Rearranging, we have;

σ'_gen/m = -((Q'/m)/T_boundary) + (s2 - s1)

Under the conditions given in the question, this transforms normally to;

σ'_gen/m = -((Q'/m)/T_boundary) - c_p•In(T2/T1) - R•In(p2/p1)

σ'_gen/m is the rate of entropy production in kj/kg

We are given;

p2 = 100 kpa

p1 = 400 kpa

T_boundary = 315 K

For an ideal gas, R = 0.287 KJ/kg.K

Plugging in the relevant values including the ones initially written in answer a above, we have;

σ'_gen/m = -(-30/315) - 1.1(In(670/980)) - 0.287(In(100/400))

σ'_gen/m = 0.0952 + 0.4183 + 0.3979

σ'_gen/m = 0.9113 KJ/kg.k

A triangular plate with a base 5 ft and altitude 3 ft is submerged vertically in water. If the base is in the surface of water,
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Hydrostatic force = 41168 N

Explanation:

Complete question

A triangular plate with a base 5 ft and altitude 3 ft is submerged vertically in water  so that the top is 4 ft below the surface. If the base is in the surface of water, find the force against onr side of the plate. Express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it. (Recall that the weight density of water is 62.5 lb/ft3.)

Let "x" be the side length submerged in water.

Then

w(x)/base = (4+3-x)/altitude

w(x)/5 = (4+3-x)/3

w(x) = 5* (7-x)/3

Hydrostatic force = 62.5 integration of  x * 4 * (10-x)/3 with limits from 4 to 7

HF = integration of 40x - 4x^2/3

HF = 20x^2 - 4x^3/9 with limit 4 to 7

HF = (20*7^2 - 4*7^(3/9))- (20*4^2 - 4*4^(3/9))

HF = 658.69 N *62.5 = 41168 N
