potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.

Answer:

Potential energy is the latent energy in an object at rest, and is one of two forms of energy. The other form, kinetic energy, is the energy expressed by an object in motion. The actual potential energy of an object depends on its position relative to other objects.

The Assignment: A fixed quantity of an ideal gas (R 0.28 kJ/kgK; Cv-0.71kJ/kgK) is expanded from an initial condition of 35 bar,

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Index of expansion: 4.93

Δu = -340.8 kJ/kg

q = 232.2 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The index of expansion is the relationship of pressures:

pi/pf

The ideal gas equation:

p1*v1/T1 = p2*v2/T2

p2 = p1*v1*T2/(T2*v2)

500 C = 773 K

20 C = 293 K

p2 = 35*0.1*773/(293*1.3) = 7.1 bar

The index of expansion then is 35/7.1 = 4.93

The variation of specific internal energy is:

Δu = Cv * Δt

Δu = 0.71 * (20 - 500) = -340.8 kJ/kg

The first law of thermodynamics

q = l + Δu

The work will be the expansion work

l = p2*v2 - p1*v1

35 bar = 3500000 Pa

7.1 bar = 710000 Pa

q = p2*v2 - p1*v1 + Δu

q = 710000*1.3 - 3500000*0.1 - 340800 = 232200 J/kg = 232.2 kJ/kg

A steel beam of mass 1975 kg and length 3 m is attached to the wall with a pin that can rotate freely on its right side. A cable

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a) 29062.125 N·m

b) 0 N·m

c) $Torque, due \ to \ tension =L\cdot Tsin\theta = \frac{M\cdot L\cdot g}{2}$

d) T = 11186.02 N

Explanation:

We are given

Beam mass = 1975 kg

Beam length = 3 m

Cable angle = 60° above horizontal

a) We have the formula for torque given as follows;

Torque about the pin = Force × Perpendicular distance of force from pin

Where the force = Force due to gravity or weight, we have

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity = 1975 × 9.81 = 19374.75 N

Point of action of force = Midpoint for a uniform beam = length/2

∴ Point of action of force = 3/2 = 1.5 m

Torque due to gravity = 19374.75 N × 1.5 m = 29062.125 N·m

b) Torque about the pinned end due to the contact forces between the pin and the beam is given by the following relation;

Since the distance from pin to the contact forces between the pin and the beam is 0, the torque which is force multiplied by perpendicular distance is also 0 N·m

c) To find the expression for the tension force, T we find the sum of the moment forces about the pin as follows

Sum of moments about p is given as follows

∑M = 0 gives;

T·sin(θ) × L= M×L/2×g

Therefore torque due to tension is given by the following expression

$Torque, due \ to \ tension =L\cdot Tsin\theta = \frac{M\cdot L\cdot g}{2}$

d) Plugging in the values in the torque due to tension equation, we have;

$3\times Tsin60 = \frac{1975\times 3\times 9.81}{2} = 29062.125$

Therefore, we make the tension force, T the subject of the formula hence

$T= \frac{29062.125}{3 \times sin(60)} = 11186.02 N$
