A tool chest has 650 N weight that acts through the midpoint of the chest. The chest is supported by feet at A and rollers at B.

The surface has a coefficient of friction of 0.3. Determine the value of the horizontal force P necessary to cause motion of the chest to the right, and determine if the motion is sliding or tipping.

Answer:

the value of horizontal force P is 170.625 N

the value of horizontal force at P = 227.5 N is that the block moves to right and this motion is due to sliding.

Explanation:

The first diagram attached below shows the free body diagram of the tool chest when it is sliding.

Let start out by calculating the friction force

F_f= \mu N_2

where :

F_f = friction force

\mu = coefficient of friction

N_2 = normal friction

Given that:

\mu = 0.3

F_f = 0.3 N_2

Using the equation of equilibrium along horizontal direction.

\sum f_x = 0

P - F_f = 0

P = 0.3 N_2   ----- Equation (1)

To determine the moment about point B ; we have the expression

\sum M_B  = 0

0 = N_2*70-W*35-P*100

where;

P = horizontal force

N_2 = normal force at support A

W = self- weight of tool chest

Replacing W = 650 N

0 = N_2*70-650*35-100*P

P = \frac{70 N_2-22750}{100} ----- equation (2)

Replacing  \frac{70 N_2-22750}{100}  for P in equation (1)

\frac{70N_2 -22750}{100} =0.3 N_2

N_2 = \frac{22750}{40}N_2 = 568.75 \ N

Plugging the value of N_2 = 568.75 \ N in equation (2)

P = \frac{70(568.75)-22750}{100} \\ \\ P = \frac{39812.5-22750}{100}  \\ \\ P = \frac{17062.5}{100}

P =170.625 N

Thus; the value of horizontal force P is 170.625 N

b)  From the second diagram attached the free body diagram; the free body diagram of the tool chest when it is tipping about point A is also shown below:

Taking the moments about point A:

\sum M_A = 0

-(P × 100)+ (W×35) = 0

P = \frac{W*35}{100}

Replacing 650 N  for W

P = \frac{650*35}{100}

P = 227.5 N

Thus; the value of horizontal force P, when the tool chest tipping about point A is 227.5 N

We conclude that the motion will be impending for the lowest value when P = 170.625 N and when P= 227.5 N

However; the value of horizontal force at P = 227.5 N is that the block moves to right and this motion is due to sliding.

Consider the expansion of a gas at a constant temperature in a water-cooled piston-cylinder system. The constant temperature is
Leona [35]

Answer:

Q_{in} = W_{out} = nRT ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})

Explanation:

According to the first thermodynamic law, the energy must be conserved so:

dQ = dU - dW

Where Q is the heat transmitted to the system, U is the internal energy and W is the work done by the system.

This equation can be solved by integration between an initial and a final state:

(1) \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dQ = \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dU - \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dW

As per work definition:

dW = F*dr

For pressure the force F equials the pressure multiplied by the area of the piston, and considering dx as the displacement:

dW = PA*dx

Here A*dx equals the differential volume of the piston, and considering that any increment in volume is a work done by the system, the sign is negative, so:

dW = - P*dV

So the third integral in equation (1) is:

\int\limits^1_2 {- P} \, dV

Considering the gas as ideal, the pressure can be calculated as P = \frac{n*R*T}{V}, so:

\int\limits^1_2 {- P} \, dV = \int\limits^1_2 {- \frac{n*R*T}{V}} \, dV

In this particular case as the systems is closed and the temperature constant, n, R and T are constants:

\int\limits^1_2 {- \frac{n*R*T}{V}} \, dV = -nRT \int\limits^1_2 {\frac{1}{V}} \, dV

Replacion this and solving equation (1) between state 1 and 2:

\int\limits^1_2 {} \, dQ = \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dU + nRT \int\limits^1_2 {\frac{1}{V}} \, dV

Q_{2} - Q_{1} = U_{2} - U_{1} + nRT(ln V_{2} - ln V_{1})

Q_{2} - Q_{1} = U_{2} - U_{1} + nRT ln \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}

The internal energy depends only on the temperature of the gas, so there is no internal energy change U_{2} - U_{1} = 0, so the heat exchanged to the system equals the work done by the system:

Q_{in} = W_{out} = nRT ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})

You are evaluating the lifetime of a turbine blade. The blade is 4 cm long and there is a gap of 0.16 cm between the tip of the
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given conditions

1)The stress on the blade is 100 MPa

2)The yield strength of the blade is 175 MPa

3)The Young’s modulus for the blade is 50 GPa

4)The strain contributed by the primary creep regime (not including the initial elastic strain) was 0.25 % or 0.0025 strain, and this strain was realized in the first 4 hours.

5)The temperature of the blade is 800°C.

6)The formula for the creep rate in the steady-state regime is dε /dt = 1 x 10-5 σ4 exp (-2 eV/kT)

where: dε /dt is in cm/cm-hr σ is in MPa T is in Kelvink = 8.62 x 10-5 eV/K

Young Modulus, E = Stress, \sigma /Strain, ∈

initial Strain, \epsilon_i = \frac{\sigma}{E}

\epsilon_i = \frac{100\times 10^{6} Pa}{50\times 10^{9} Pa}

\epsilon_i = 0.002

creep rate in the steady state

\frac{\delta \epsilon}{\delta t} = (1 \times {10}^{-5})\sigma^4 exp^(\frac{-2eV}{kT} )

\frac{\epsilon_{initial} - \epsilon _{primary}}{t_{initial}-t_{final}} = 1 \times 10^{-5}(100)^{4}exp(\frac{-2eV}{8.62\times10^{-5}(\frac{eV}{K} )(800+273)K} )

but Tinitial = 0

\epsilon_{initial} - \epsilon _{primary}} = 0.002 - 0.003 = -0.001

\frac{-0.001}{-t_{final}} = 1 \times 10^{-5}(100)^{4}\times 10^{(\frac{-2eV}{8.62\times10^{-5}(\frac{eV}{K} )1073K} )}

solving the above equation,

we get

Tfinal = 2459.82 hr
