Answer:

The weight should be added to the base of the sign to keep it from tipping is 65.6 lb

Explanation:

Given data:

A sigh weighs 40 pounds

Suported by an 18 in x 18 in square

Force of the wind 13.2 lb

Questions: Will the sign tip over, if yes, how much evelnly distributed weight should be added to the base of the sign to keep it from tipping, W = ?

The sign and the post have a length of 6 ft. You need to calculate the distance from the edge to the middle point:

18/2 = 9 in = 0.75 ft

Force acting in the base (40 lb):

F=\frac{40*0.75}{6} =5lb

The weight should be added to the base:

(40+W)*\frac{0.75}{6} =13.2\\W=65.6lb

A cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 2 kg of R-134a at 3.5 bar and 100 C. The cylinder is now cooled so that th
inna [77]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The heat transferred in the process is -274.645 kJ

Explanation:

To solve the question, we list out the variables thus

R-134a = Tetrafluoroethane

Intitial Temperaturte t₁ = 100 °C

Initial pressure = 3.5 bar = 350 kPa

For closed system we have m₁ = m₂ = m

ΔU = m×(u₂ - u₁) = ₁Q₂ -₁W₂

For constant pressure process we have

Work done = W = \int\limits^a_b P \, dV  = P×ΔV = P × (V₂ - V₁) = P×m×(v₂ - v₁)

From the tables we have

State 1 we have h₁ = (490.48 +489.52)/2 = 490 kJ/kg

State 2 gives h₂ = 206.75 + 0.75 × 194.57= 352.6775 kJ/kg

Therefore Q₁₂ = m×(u₂ - u₁) + W₁₂ = m × (u₂ - u₁) + P×m×(v₂ - v₁)

= m×(h₂ - h₁) = 2.0 kg × (352.6775 kJ/kg - 490 kJ/kg) =-274.645 kJ

The gas expanding in the combustion space of a reciprocating engine has an initial pressure of 5 MPa and an initial temperature
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

a). Work transfer = 527.2 kJ

b). Heat Transfer = 197.7 kJ

Explanation:

Given:

P_{1} = 5 Mpa

T_{1} = 1623°C

                       = 1896 K

V_{1} = 0.05 m^{3}

Also given \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = 20

Therefore, V_{2} = 1  m^{3}

R = 0.27 kJ / kg-K

C_{V} = 0.8 kJ / kg-K

Also given : P_{1}V_{1}^{1.25}=C

   Therefore, P_{1}V_{1}^{1.25} = P_{2}V_{2}^{1.25}

                     5\times 0.05^{1.25}=P_{2}\times 1^{1.25}

                     P_{2} = 0.1182 MPa

a). Work transfer, δW = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}-P_{2}V_{2}}{n-1}

                                  \left [\frac{5\times 0.05-0.1182\times 1}{1.25-1}  \right ]\times 10^{6}

                              = 527200 J

                             = 527.200 kJ

b). From 1st law of thermodynamics,

Heat transfer, δQ = ΔU+δW

   = \frac{mR(T_{2}-T_{1})}{\gamma -1}+ \frac{P_{1}V_{1}-P_{2}V_{2}}{n-1}

  =\left [ \frac{\gamma -n}{\gamma -1} \right ]\times \delta W

  =\left [ \frac{1.4 -1.25}{1.4 -1} \right ]\times 527.200

  = 197.7 kJ

Marble A is placed in a hollow tube, and the tube is swung in a horizontal plane causing the marble to be thrown out. As viewed
Vilka [71]

Answer:

<em>The direction of ball will be Number 4 (as can be seen in attached picture) ---- the path of ball will be making some angle when it leaves the tube. </em>

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. So the picture, which is missing in question, is attached for your review.

As it can be seen in the picture, the ball coming out of the tube will have two components of velocity. One is along the length of tube (because ball is moving in that direction and is coming out from the hole), other is velocity component will be perpendicular to the tube (because the ball is made to move in that direction as the tube is rolling on the surface).

<em>So, taking the resultant of two vectors of velocity, the resultant direction of ball will be Number 4 (as can be seen in attached picture) ---- the path of ball will be making some angle when it leaves the tube. </em>
