A person riding in an elevator subjected to a series of unbalanced forces depending on the direction the elevator is travelling.
Two forces are acting on the person; the force of gravity and the upward normal force from the elevator.
When the elevator is going upwards with acceleration a, the person feels heavier than his normal weight, due to the upward normal force being greater than the person's weight. N = mg + ma
When the elevator is moving downwards with acceleration a, the person feels lighter due to the downward normal force being less than the person's weight. N = mg - ma
However, when the elevator is moving up or down at constant velocity ie. acceleration a = 0, the person experience a normal force equal to weight. N = mg
When the elevator is moving downwards with acceleration a = g, the person experiences weightlessness. N = (mg - mg) = 0

Air (14.5 lb) undergoes a polytropic process in a closed system from p1 = 80 lbf/in2, υ1 = 4 ft3/lb to a final state where p2 =
Yanka [14]
The energy transfer in terms of work has the equation:

W = mΔ(PV)

To be consistent with units, let's convert them first as follows:

P₁ = 80 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/9 lbf/ft²
P₂ = 20 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/36 lbf/ft²
V₁ = 4 ft³/lbm
V₂ = 11 ft³/lbm

W = m(P₂V₂ - P₁V₁)
W = (14.5 lbm)[(5/36 lbf/ft²)(4 ft³/lbm) - (5/9 lbf/ft²)(11 lbm/ft³)]
W = -80.556 ft·lbf

In 1 Btu, there is 779 ft·lbf. Thus, work in Btu is:
W = -80.556 ft·lbf(1 Btu/779 ft·lbf)
<em>W = -0.1034 BTU</em>

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Class characteristics can be define as the features which are common to the group of objects. Like the make, model, label of the manufacturing company, design, shape and form. The individual characteristics can be define as the features which develop on the object or any other article with it's wear and use. Like tear, cuts, malformation and deposition of dust, dirt, and mud. The individual characteristic indicate towards the ownership of article or evidence to a particular person.

The class characteristics can only support the possibility of the evidence exactly alike that of the evidence found at the scene of crime. But the individual characteristics can directly link the evidence with the cause of crime. Hence, will be useful to prove that a crime has taken place in the court of law.

5 What is the angular displacement at the end of the 25-mm-diameter shaft and the linear displacement of point A of Figure P5.5

5 What is the angular displacement at the end of the 25-mm-diameter shaft and the linear displacement of point A of Figure P5.5

<h3>What is displacement ?</h3>

A displacement is a vector in geometry and mechanics that has a length equal to the shortest distance between a point P's initial and final positions. It calculates the length and angle of the net motion, or total motion, in a straight line from the starting point to the destination of the point trajectory. The translation that links the starting point and the ending point can be used to spot a displacement.

The final location xf of a point relative to its beginning position xi, or a relative position (derived from the motion), is another way to express a displacement. The difference between the end and beginning positions can be used to define the equivalent displacement vector
