4.116 The lid of a roof scuttle weighs 75 lb. It is hinged at corners A and B and maintained in the desired position by a rod CD
pivoted at C. A pin at end D of the rod fits into one of several holes drilled in the edge of the lid. For α 5 50°, determine (a) the magnitude of the force exerted by rod CD, (b) the reactions at the hinges. Assume that the hinge at B does not exert any axial thrust. Beer, Ferdinand.

Answer:
. Heat transfer can be higher if themal efficiency is lower.
Explanation:
The heat transfer rate to the river water is calculated by this expression:
The actual heat transfer can be higher if the steam power plant reports an thermal efficiency lower than expected.
Answer:
15.24°C
Explanation:
The quality of any heat pump pumping heat from cold to hot place is determined by its coefficient of performance (COP) defined as
Where Q_{in} is heat delivered into the hot place, in this case, the house, and W is the work used to pump heat
You can think of this quantity as similar to heat engine's efficiency
In our case, the COP of our heater is
Where T_{house} = 24°C and T_{out} is temperature outside
To achieve maximum heating, we will have to use the most efficient heat pump, and, according to the second law of thermodynamics, nothing is more efficient that Carnot Heat Pump
Which has COP of:
So we equate the COP of our heater with COP of Carnot heater
Rearrange the equation
Solve this simple quadratic equation, and you should get that the lowest outdoor temperature that could still allow heat to be pumped into your house would be
15.24°C
Answer:
Part 1: It would be a straight line, current will be directly proportional to the voltage.
Part 2: The current would taper off and will have negligible increase after the voltage reaches a certain value. Graph attached.
Explanation:
For the first part, voltage and current have a linear relationship as dictated by the Ohm's law.
V=I*R
where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance. As the Voltage increase, current is bound to increase too, given that the resistance remains constant.
In the second part, resistance is not constant. As an element heats up, it consumes more current because the free sea of electrons inside are moving more rapidly, disrupting the flow of charge. So, as the voltage increase, the current does increase, but so does the resistance. Leaving less room for the current to increase. This rise in temperature is shown in the graph attached, as current tapers.
