A railroad runs form city A to city B, a distance of 800km, through mountainous terrain. The present one-way travel time (including time at intermediate yards) is 20 hours, and the rail freight rate is $20 per ton. There is a truck service that competes with the railroad, running over a roughly parallel road for approximately the same distance, at an average speed of 48km per hour and a rate of $30 per ton. A new highway is planned to replace the existing roads; it is expected that most of the traffic will be trucks (auto usage is expected to be negligible). The performance function of the new facility is t_T = t_0 + bV_T, where V_T is the flow in trucks per hour, t_0 = 10 hours, b = 0.08 hour per truck per hour. The railroad's estimate of the demand function is: V_T/V_R = a_0(t_r/t_R)^a_1 (c_T/c_R)^a_2 where t_T and t_R are the trip times (in hours) by truck and rail, respectively, c_T and c_R are the corresponding rates, V_T and V_R are the corresponding flows and a_0, a_1 and a_2 are parameters. The total demand is likely to remain constant at V_TOT = 200 tons per hour. The rail system is utilized at only a fraction of capacity, so its performance function is flat (travel time is constant, independent of volume). If a_0 = 1, a_1 = -1 and a_2 = -2, find the present flows of freight by truck and rail. Make an estimate of the equilibrium flows if the new highway were built. With the new highway built, what would the equilibrium flow be in each of the following two cases: if the railroad dropped its rate to $15 per ton? if truckers were taxed $5 per ton to help pay for the new highway?

A 60-m-long steel wire is subjected to a 6-kN tensile load. Knowing that E = 200 GPa and that the length of the rod increases by 48 mm, determine a) the smallest diameter that can be selected for the wire.b) the corresponding normal stress.
Answers
Answer:
(a) 6.91 mm (b) 160 MPa
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
E = 200 GPa
The rod length = 48 mm
P =P¹ = 6 kN
Recall that,
1 kN = 10^3 N
1 m =10^3 mm
I GPa = 10^9 N/m²
Thus
The rod deformation is stated as follows:
δ = PL/AE-------(1)
σ = P/A----------(2)
Now,
(a) We substitute the values in equation and obtain the following:
48 * 10 ^⁻3 m = (6 * 10³ N) (60 m)/A[ 200 * 10^9 N/m^2]
Thus, we simplify
A = (6 * 10³) (60)/ ( 200 * 10^9) (48 * 10 ^⁻3)m²
A =0.0375 * 10 ^⁻3 m²
A =37.5 mm²
A = π/4 d²
Thus,
d² = 4A /π
After inserting the values we have,
d = √37.5 * 4/3.14 mm
= 6.9116 mm
or d = 6.91 mm
Therefore, the smallest that should be used is 6.91 mm
(B) To determine the corresponding normal stress that is caused by the tensile force, we input the values in equation (2)
Thus,
σ = P/A
σ= 6 * 10 ^ 3 N/ 37. 5 * 10 ^⁻6 m²
σ= 160 MPa
Note: I MPa = 10^6 N/m²
Hence the the corresponding normal stress is σ= 160 MPa
During one eight-hour shift, 750 non-defective parts are desired from a fabrication operation. The standard time for the operation is 15 minutes. Because the machine operators are unskilled, the actual time it takes to perform the operation is 20 minutes, and ,on average, one-fifth of the parts that begin fabrication are scrapped. Assuming that each of the machines used for this operation will not be available for one hour of each shift, determine the number of machines required.
Answers
Answer:
No. of Machines Required = 47
Explanation:
First, we calculate the number of parts that can be manufactured by one machine during the shift. For that purpose, we use following formula:
No. of Parts Manufactured by 1 Machine = Total Operating Time/Time taken to perform Operation
where,
Total Operating Time = 8 h - 1 h = (7 h)(60 min/h) = 420 min
Time taken to perform operation = 20 min
Therefore,
No. of Parts Manufactured by 1 Machine = 420 min/20 min
No. of Parts Manufactured by 1 Machine = 21
Now, we will calculate the no. of non-defective parts manufactured by 1 machine. Since, it is given that one-fifth of the parts manufactured by machine are defective. Therefore, the non-defective parts will be: 1 - 1/5 = 4/5 (four-fifth).
No. of Non- Defective Parts Manufactured by 1 Machine = N = (4/5)(21)
N = 16.8 = 16 (Since, the 17th part will not be able to complete in time)
So, the no. of machines required to produce 750 non-defective parts is given by:
No. of Machines Required = No. of non-defective parts required/N
No. of Machines Required = 750/16
No. of Machines Required = 46.9
No. of Machines Required = 47 (Since, 46 machines will not be able complete the job)

A sedimentation basin in a water treatment plant has a length = 48 m, width = 12 m, and depth = 3 m. The flow rate = 4 m 3 /s; particle specific gravity = 1.1; water density = 10 3 kg/m 3 ; and dynamic viscosity = 1.30710 -3 N.sec/m 2 . What is the minimum particle diameter that is removed at 85%?
Answers
Answer:
The minimum particle diameter that is removed at 85% is 1.474 * 10 ^⁻4 meters.
Solution
Given:
Length = 48 m
Width = 12 m
Depth = 3m
Flow rate = 4 m 3 /s
Water density = 10 3 kg/m 3
Dynamic viscosity = 1.30710 -3 N.sec/m
Now,
At the minimum particular diameter it is stated as follows:
The Reynolds number= 0.1
Thus,
0.1 =ρVTD/μ
VT = Dp² ( ρp- ρ) g/ 10μ²
Where
gn = The case/issue of sedimentation
VT = Terminal velocity
So,
0.1 = Dp³ ( ρp- ρ) g/ 10μ²
This becomes,
0.1 = 1000 * dp³ (1100-1000) g 0.1/ 10 *(1.307 * 10 ^⁻3)²
= 3.074 * 10 ^⁻6 = dp³ (.g01 * 10^6)
dp³=3.1343 * 10 ^⁻12
Dp minimum= 1.474 * 10 ^⁻4 meters.

Answers
Answer:
a) P* = 0.5283 MPa , T* = 624.75 K , ρ* = 2.945 kg/m^3 , V* = 501.023 m/s
b) Pe = 0.1278 MPa , Te = 416.7 K , ρe = 1.069 kg/m^3 , Ve = 818.36 m/s, Ae = 33.75 cm^2
c) m' = 2.915 kg/s
Explanation:
Given:-
- The inlet pressure, Pi = 1.0 MPa
- The inlet temperature, Ti = 750 K
- Inlet velocity is negligible
- Steady, Isentropic Flow
- The specific heat ratio of air, k = 1.4
- Exit Mach number, Mae = 2
- The throat area, Ath = 20 cm^2
- Gas constant of air, R = 0.287 KJ / kg.K
Find:-
(a) the throat conditions (static pressure, temperature, density, and mach number)
b) the exit plane conditions
c) the mass flow rate
Solution:-
- For this problem we will assume air to behave like an ideal gas with constant specific heat at RTP. Also the flow of air through the nozzle is assumed to be steady, one dimensional, and Isentropic with constant specific heat ratio ( k ).
- First we will scrutinize on the exit conditions. We have a Mach number of 2 at the exit. The flow at the exit of converging-diverging nozzle is in super-sonic region this is only possible only if sonic ( Ma = 1 ) conditions are achieved by the flow at the throat area ( minimum cross-sectional area ).
- Moreover, the flow is almost still at the inlet. Hence, we can assume that the flow has negligible velocity ( vi = 0 m/s ) at the inlet and the reservoir temperature and pressure can be assumed to be stagnation temperature and pressures as follows:
[tex]P_o = 1.0 MPa\\\\T_o = 750 K[/tex]
- Using the ideal gas law we can determine the stagnation density ( ρo ) as follows:
[tex]p_o = \frac{P_o}{RT_o} = \frac{1000}{0.287*750} = 4.64576\frac{kg}{m^3}[/tex]
- We will use the already developed results for flow which has reached sonic velocity ( Ma = 1 ) at the throat region. Use Table A - 13, to determine the critical static values at the throat region:
[tex]\frac{P^*}{P_o} = 0.5283\\\\P^* = 0.5283*1 = 0.5283 MPa\\\\\frac{T^*}{T_o} = 0.8333\\\\T^* = 0.8333*750 = 624.75 K\\\\ \frac{p^*}{p_o} = 0.6339\\\\p^* = 0.6339*4.64576 = 2.945 \frac{kg}{m^3} \\\\[/tex]
[tex]V^* = \sqrt{kRT^*} =\sqrt{1.4*287*624.75} = 501.023 \frac{m}{s}[/tex]
- Similarly, we will again employ the table A - 13 to determine the exit plane conditions for ( Ma = 2 ) as follows:
[tex]\frac{P_e}{P_o} = 0.1278 \\\\P_e = 0.1278*1.0 = 0.1278 MPa\\\\\frac{T_e}{T_o} = 0.5556 \\\\T_e = 0.5556*750 = 416.7 K\\\\\frac{p_e}{p_o} = 0.23 \\\\p_e = 0.23*4.64576 = 1.069 \frac{kg}{m^3} \\\\\frac{A_e}{A_t_h} = 1.6875 \\\\A_e =1.6875*20 = 33.75 cm^2\\[/tex]
- The velocity at the exit plane ( Ve ) can be determined from the exit conditions as follows:
[tex]V_e = Ma_e*\sqrt{kRT_e} = 2*\sqrt{1.4*287*416.7} = 818.36 \frac{m}{s}[/tex]
- For steady flows the mass flow rate ( m' ) is constant at any section of the nozzle. We will use the properties at the throat section to determine the mass flow rate as follows:
[tex]m' = p^* A_t_h V^*\\\\m' = 2.945*20*10^-^4*501.023\\\\m' = 2.951 \frac{kg}{s}[/tex]

A sandy soil has a natural water content of 12% and bulk unit weight of 18.8 kN/m3 . The void ratios corresponding to the densest state (emin) and loosest state (emax) of this soil are 0.48 and 0.88, respectively. Find the relative density and degree of saturation for this soil.
Answers
Answer:
The value of relative density is 75 % while that of degree of saturation is 54.82%.
Explanation:
Given Data:
Bulk density of Sandy Soil=[tex]\gamma_b=18.8\ kN/m^3[/tex]
Void Ratio in Densest state=[tex]e_{max}=0.88[/tex]
Void Ratio in Loosest state=[tex]e_{min}=0.48[/tex]
Water content=[tex]w=12\%[/tex]
To Find:
Relative Density=[tex]D_R=\dfrac{e_{max}-e}{e_{max}-e_{min}} \times 100 \%[/tex]
Degree of Saturation=[tex]S=\dfrac{w\times G_s}{e}[/tex]
Now all the other values are given except e. e is calculated as follows
e is termed as In situ void ratio and is given as
[tex]e=\dfrac{\gamma_w \times G_s-\gamma_d}{\gamma_d}[/tex]
Here
γ_w is the density of water whose value is 1
G_s is the constant whose value is 2.65
γ_d is the dry density of the sandy soil which is calculated as follows:
[tex]\gamma_d=\dfrac{\gamma_b}{1+\dfrac{w}{100}}[/tex]
Putting values
[tex]\gamma_d=\dfrac{18.8}{1+\dfrac{12}{100}}\\\gamma_d=16.78\ kN/m^3=1.678 g/cc \\[/tex]
Putting this value in the equation of e gives
[tex]e=\dfrac{1 \times 2.65-1.678}{1.678}\\e=0.579=0.58[/tex]
So the value of Relative density is given as
[tex]D_R=\dfrac{e_{max}-e}{e_{max}-e_{min}} \times 100 \%\\D_R=\dfrac{0.88-0.58}{0.88-0.48} \times 100 \%\\D_R=75 \%[/tex]
So the value of relative density is 75 %
Now the value of degree of saturation is given as
[tex]S=\dfrac{w\times G_s}{e}\\S=\dfrac{12\times 2.65}{0.58}\\S=54.82 \%[/tex]
The value of degree of saturation is 54.82%.
Answer:
The relative density = 0.83 which is equivalent to 83%
The degree of saturation, S = 0.58 which gives 58% saturation
Explanation:
The parameters given are;
Water content W% = 12%
Bulk unit weight, γ = 18.8 kN/m³
Void ratio of [tex]e_{min}[/tex] = 0.48
Void ratio of [tex]e_{max}[/tex] = 0.88
[tex]G_S[/tex] = Constant (As learnt from an answer to the question on the current page) = 2.65 for Sandy soil
[tex]\gamma =\dfrac{W}{V} = \dfrac{W_{w}+W_{s}}{V}[/tex]
Where, V = 1 m³
W = 18.8 KN
Bulk unit weight, γ = [tex]\gamma_d[/tex] × (1 + W)
∴ 18.8 = [tex]\gamma_d[/tex] × (1 + 0.12)
[tex]\gamma_d[/tex] = 18.8/ (1.12) = 16.79 kN/m³
[tex]\gamma_d =\dfrac{W_s}{V} = \dfrac{W_{s}}{1} = 16.79 \, kN/m^3[/tex]
[tex]W_s[/tex] = 16.79 kN
∴ [tex]W_w[/tex] = 18.8 kN - 16.79 kN = 2.01 kN
[tex]m_w = 2.01/9.81 = 0.205 \, kg[/tex]
Volume of water = 0.205 m³
[tex]\gamma = \dfrac{GS \times \gamma _{w}\times \left (1+w \right )}{1 + e} = \dfrac{GS \times 9.81\times \left (1+0.12 \right )}{1 + e} =18.8[/tex]
e + 1 = 0.58×GS = 0.58×2.65 =
e = 1.54 - 1 = 0.55
The relative density is given by the relation;
[tex]Relative \ density, Dr=\dfrac{e_{max} - e}{e_{max} - e_{min}}[/tex]
[tex]Relative \ density, Dr=\dfrac{0.88 - e}{0.88 - 0.48} = \dfrac{0.88 - 0.55}{0.4} = 0.83[/tex]
The relative density = 0.83
The relative density in percentage = 0.83×100 = 83%
S·e = GS×w = 0.12·2.65
S×0.55 = 0.318
The degree of saturation, S = 0.58
The degree of saturation, S in percentage = 58%.

1. Is the car accelerating during the turn? Why or why not?
2. Would you feel any of the movement during this event? Why
or why not?
Answers
ANSWER:
1) The car is not accelerating, because for the the car to turn while accelerating down the street, it has to deaccelerate (reduce speed) due to CENTRIPETAL FORCE that is acting on the car during the turn. This force acts to bring the car in the direction where it has turned to.
2) You will feel the movement as everyone in the car will tend to fall to the left, while the car makes a right turn. This is because of CENTRIFUGAL FORCE, which is acting to take the car to a left direction, while the car is turning to the right direction.

A .02 kg of R-134a fills a 0.14-m3 weighted piston–cylinder device at a temperature of –26.4°C. The container is now heated until the temperature is 100°C. Determine the final volume of R-134a. Use data from the refrigerant tables.
Answers
Answer:
The answer is 0.06027 m³
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The first step to take is to determine the initial state of the volume for R-134a refrigerant
Now,
v₁ =V/m
V = the volume of weighted piston cylinder device at the normal state
m = the mass of the R-134a refrigerant
Thus,
We substitute the values 0.14 for V and 0.2 kg for m
Which results in
v₁ = 0.14/0.2
v₁ = 0.7 m₃/kg
The next step is to find the saturated pressure of the R-134a refrigerant from the temperature table of saturated refrigerant R-134a which is equivalent to the normal temperature of 26.4°C.
Thus, by applying the method of interpolation we have the following
P₁ =101.73 - ((101.73-92.76) * (-26-(-26.4)/-26- (-28))
P₁ = 99.936 kPa
So,
The refrigerant in the weighted piston–cylinder device is then heated until the temperature gets to a 100°C
Hence, the temperature and pressure at a state of two becomes
P₂ = 99.936 kPa
T₂ = 100°C
The next step is to determine the specific volume of the refrigerant R-134a at a final state from the super heated refrigerant R-134a which is equivalent to the pressure of 99.936 kPa
v₂ =0.30138 m³ /kg
Now,
we now calculate the final state of the weighted piston cylinder device
V₂ = mv₂
V₂ = 0.2 * 0.30138
V₂ = 0.06027 m³
Hence ,the final volume of the weighted cylinder piston device is 0.06027 m³

If the employees work hard, achieve the objectives and deliver the results, they are rewarded through bonuses, hikes, promotions etc. If the employees fail to achieve the desired results, they are punished by awarding lower ratings in the performance appraisal, denying opportunities etc.
In this style, leader lays emphasis on the relation with the followers.
It is a reactive style where the growth of the employee in the organization completely depends on the performance with respect to the activities and deliverables.
It is best suited for regular operations and for a settled environment by developing the existing organizational culture which is not too challenging.
It is a bureaucratic style of leadership where the leader concentrates on planning and execution rather than innovation and creation.

[tex]P = \dfrac{\lambda }{\mu }[/tex]
From the information given;
λ = 12 trucks/hour
μ = 3 min/truck = 60/3 truck/hour = 20 truck/hour
Plugging in the above values, we have;
[tex]L = \dfrac{12 }{20 -12 } = \dfrac{12 }{8 } = 1.5[/tex]
[tex]P = \dfrac{12 }{20 } = \dfrac{3}{5 }[/tex]
[tex]L_q = \dfrac{3}{5 } \times \dfrac{3}{2 } = \dfrac{9}{10 } = 0.9[/tex]
[tex]W = \dfrac{1 }{20 -12 } = \dfrac{1 }{8 } \ hour[/tex]
[tex]W_q = \dfrac{3}{5 } \times \dfrac{1}{8 } = \dfrac{3}{40 } \, hour[/tex]
(b) The service rate with the new backacter = 1.5 minutes/truck which is thus;
μ = 60/1.5 trucks/hour = 40 trucks/hour
[tex]P = \dfrac{12 }{40 } = \dfrac{3}{10}[/tex]
[tex]W = \dfrac{1 }{40 -12 } = \dfrac{1 }{38 } \, hour[/tex]
[tex]W_q = \dfrac{3}{10 } \times \dfrac{1}{38 } = \dfrac{3}{380 } \, hour[/tex]
λ = 12 trucks/hour
Total cost = [tex]mC_s + \lambda WC_w[/tex]
m = 1
[tex]C_s[/tex] = GH¢ = 1300
[tex]C_w[/tex] = 400
Total cost with the old backacter is given as follows;
[tex]1 \times 1000 + 12 \times \dfrac{1}{8} \times 400 = \$ 1,600.00[/tex]
Total cost with the new backacter is given as follows;
[tex]1 \times 1300 + 12 \times \dfrac{1}{38} \times 400 = \$ 1,426.32[/tex]
The new backacter will reduce the total costs, therefore, the new backacter is recommended.
c)
Here μ = 3 min/ 2 trucks = 2×60/3 truck/hour = 40 truck/hour
[tex]\therefore W = \dfrac{1 }{40 -12 } = \dfrac{1 }{38 } \, hour[/tex]
Total cost with the one backacter is given as follows;
[tex]1 \times 1000 + 12 \times \dfrac{1}{8} \times 400 = \$ 1,600.00[/tex]
Total cost with two backacters is given as follows;
[tex]2 \times 1000 + 12 \times \dfrac{1}{38} \times 400 = \$ 2,126.32[/tex]
The additional backacter will increase the total costs, therefore, it should not be deployed.

Although the word ‘corrosion’ is used to describe the decay of metals, all natural and man-made materials are subject to decay, and the level of pollutants in the air can speed up this process.
Pressure in U.S. customary units is measured in psi (pound per square inch). In SI metric units pressure is measured in Pa (N/m2). Write a user-defined MATLAB function that converts pressure given in units of psi to pressure in units of Pa. For the function name and arguments, use [Pa] = Psi-ToPa(psi). The input argument psi is the pressure in units of psi to be converted, and the output argument Pa is the converted pressure in units of Pa (rounded to the nearest integer).

1. The 1992 Ford Crown Victoria came with a 190 horsepower engine. It has a drag coefficient of 0.33 and a frontal projected area of 26.36 ft2. Assuming that all of the available power from the engine is used to overcome the drag force, then what would the maximum speed (in miles per hour) be for this car
Answers
Answer:
1.50 miles/hour is the correct answer to the given question
Explanation:
As mention in the question engine power = 190 horsepower engine.......eq(1)
we have to converted into the watt as we know that 1 horse power=746 watt
putting this value in eq(1) we get
[tex]Engine \ power\ =190 *746\\\ Engine \ power =146216\ NM/S[/tex]
Drag coefficient = 0.33
Projected area = 26.36 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]............eq(2)
we have to converted into the [tex]m^{2}[/tex] as we know that [tex]1m^{2}\ =\ 10.7639\ ft^{2}[/tex]
putting this value in eq(2) we get
Projected area = [tex]2.448921\ m^{2}[/tex]
Now we to calculated the Drag Force
[tex]F\ =\frac{\ Drag \ coefficient\ *P*\ V^{2}\ *A }{2}[/tex]....................eq(3)
Putting the above value in eq(3) we get
[tex]F=\ \frac{0.33\ * 1.2 * \ V^{2 \ * 2.44821\ *N} }{2} \\F=\ 0.4848V^{2}[/tex]
As we know that
[tex]F=0.4848\ V^{2}\ *V \\F= \frac{\ 0.4848V^{3} NM}{S}[/tex]
As mention in the question
Power of Engine =Drag free force
[tex]146216\ =\ 0.4848\ V^{3}\\ V^{3} =301550.889\\V=67.05M/S[/tex]
We have to converted this value into the miles/hour
1 M/S =2.22369 M/H
Putting this value into the V we get
V=67.05 * 2.2234 M/H
V=150 M/H
A cylindrical bar of metal having a diameter of 20.2 mm and a length of 209 mm is deformed elastically in tension with a force of 50500 N.

(b) The change in diameter of the specimen. Indicate an increase in diameter with a positive number and a decrease with a negative number.
Answers
Answer:
A) ΔL = 0.503 mm
B) Δd = -0.016 mm
Explanation:
A) From Hooke's law; σ = Eε
Where,
σ is stress
ε is strain
E is elastic modulus
Now, σ is simply Force/Area
So, with the initial area; σ = F/A_o
A_o = (π(d_o)²)/4
σ = 4F/(π(d_o)²)
Strain is simply; change in length/original length
So for initial length, ε = ΔL/L_o
So, combining the formulas for stress and strain into Hooke's law, we now have;
4F/(π(d_o)²) = E(ΔL/L_o)
Making ΔL the subject, we now have;
ΔL = (4F•L_o)/(E•π(d_o)²)
We are given;
F = 50500 N
L_o = 209mm = 0.209m
E = 65.5 GPa = 65.5 × 10^(9) N/m²
d_o = 20.2 mm = 0.0202 m
Plugging in these values, we have;
ΔL = (4 × 50500 × 0.209)/(65.5 × 10^(9) × π × (0.0202)²)
ΔL = 0.503 × 10^(-3) m = 0.503 mm
B) The formula for Poisson's ratio is;
v = -(ε_x/ε_z)
Where; ε_x is transverse strain and ε_z is longitudinal strain.
So,
ε_x = Δd/d_o
ε_z = ΔL/L_o
Thus;
v = - [(Δd/d_o)/(ΔL/L_o)]
v = - [(Δd•L_o)/(ΔL•d_o)]
Making Δd the subject, we have;
Δd = -[(v•ΔL•d_o)/L_o]
We are given v = 0.33; d_o = 20.2mm
So,
Δd = -[(0.33 × 0.503 × 20.2)/209]
Δd = -0.016 mm

Answer:
[tex]\| \vec A \| = 6.163\,m[/tex]
Explanation:
Sean A, B y C vectores coplanares tal que:
[tex]\vec A = (\| \vec A \|\cdot \cos \theta_{A},\| \vec A \|\cdot \sin \theta_{A})[/tex], [tex]\vec B = (\| \vec B \|\cdot \cos \theta_{B},\| \vec B \|\cdot \sin \theta_{B})[/tex] y [tex]\vec C = (\| \vec C \|\cdot \cos \theta_{C},\| \vec C \|\cdot \sin \theta_{C})[/tex]
Donde [tex]\| \vec A \|[/tex], [tex]\| \vec B \|[/tex] y [tex]\| \vec C \|[/tex] son las normas o magnitudes respectivas de los vectores A, B y C, mientras que [tex]\theta_{A}[/tex], [tex]\theta_{B}[/tex] y [tex]\theta_{C}[/tex] son las direcciones respectivas de aquellos vectores, medidas en grados sexagesimales.
Por definición de producto escalar, se encuentra que:
[tex]\vec A \,\bullet\, \vec B = \|\vec A \| \| \vec B \| \cos \theta_{B}\cdot \cos \theta_{A} + \|\vec A \| \| \vec B \| \sin \theta_{B}\cdot \sin \theta_{A}[/tex]
[tex]\vec B \,\bullet\, \vec C = \|\vec B \| \| \vec C \| \cos \theta_{B}\cdot \cos \theta_{C} + \|\vec B \| \| \vec C \| \sin \theta_{B}\cdot \sin \theta_{C}[/tex]
Asimismo, se sabe que [tex]\| \vec B \| = 5\,m[/tex], [tex]\theta_{B} = 60^{\circ}[/tex], [tex]\vec A \,\bullet \,\vec B = 30\,m^{2}[/tex], [tex]\vec B\, \bullet\, \vec C = 35\,m^{2}[/tex], [tex]\|\vec A \| = \| \vec C \|[/tex] y [tex]\theta_{C} = \theta_{A} + 25^{\circ}[/tex]. Entonces, las ecuaciones quedan simplificadas como siguen:
[tex]30\,m^{2} = 5\|\vec A \| \cdot (\cos 60^{\circ}\cdot \cos \theta_{A} + \sin 60^{\circ}\cdot \sin \theta_{A})[/tex]
[tex]35\,m^{2} = 5\|\vec A \| \cdot [\cos 60^{\circ}\cdot \cos (\theta_{A}+25^{\circ}) + \sin 60^{\circ}\cdot \sin (\theta_{A}+25^{\circ})][/tex]
Es decir,
[tex]30\,m^{2} = \| \vec A \| \cdot (2.5\cdot \cos \theta_{A} + 4.330\cdot \sin \theta_{A})[/tex]
[tex]35\,m^{2} = \| \vec A \| \cdot [2.5\cdot \cos (\theta_{A}+25^{\circ})+4.330\cdot \sin (\theta_{A}+25^{\circ}})][/tex]
Luego, se aplica las siguientes identidades trigonométricas para sumas de ángulos:
[tex]\cos (\theta_{A}+25^{\circ}) = \cos \theta_{A}\cdot \cos 25^{\circ} - \sin \theta_{A}\cdot \sin 25^{\circ}[/tex]
[tex]\sin (\theta_{A}+25^{\circ}) = \sin \theta_{A}\cdot \cos 25^{\circ} + \cos \theta_{A} \cdot \sin 25^{\circ}[/tex]
Es decir,
[tex]\cos (\theta_{A}+25^{\circ}) = 0.906\cdot \cos \theta_{A} - 0.423 \cdot \sin \theta_{A}[/tex]
[tex]\sin (\theta_{A}+25^{\circ}) = 0.906\cdot \sin \theta_{A} + 0.423 \cdot \cos \theta_{A}[/tex]
Las nuevas expresiones son las siguientes:
[tex]30\,m^{2} = \| \vec A \| \cdot (2.5\cdot \cos \theta_{A} + 4.330\cdot \sin \theta_{A})[/tex]
[tex]35\,m^{2} = \| \vec A \| \cdot [2.5\cdot (0.906\cdot \cos \theta_{A} - 0.423 \cdot \sin \theta_{A})+4.330\cdot (0.906\cdot \sin \theta_{A} + 0.423 \cdot \cos \theta_{A})][/tex]
Ahora se simplifican las expresiones, se elimina la norma de [tex]\vec A[/tex] y se desarrolla y simplifica la ecuación resultante:
[tex]30\,m^{2} = \| \vec A \| \cdot (2.5\cdot \cos \theta_{A} + 4.330\cdot \sin \theta_{A})[/tex]
[tex]35\,m^{2} = \| \vec A \| \cdot (4.097\cdot \cos \theta_{A} +2.865\cdot \sin \theta_{A})[/tex]
[tex]\frac{30\,m^{2}}{2.5\cdot \cos \theta_{A}+ 4.330\cdot \sin \theta_{A}} = \frac{35\,m^{2}}{4.097\cdot \cos \theta_{A} + 2.865\cdot \sin \theta_{A}}[/tex]
[tex]30\cdot (4.097\cdot \cos \theta_{A} + 2.865\cdot \sin \theta_{A}) = 35\cdot (2.5\cdot \cos \theta_{A}+4.330\cdot \sin \theta_{A})[/tex]
[tex]122.91\cdot \cos \theta_{A} + 85.95\cdot \sin \theta_{A} = 87.5\cdot \cos \theta_{A} + 151.55\cdot \sin \theta_{A}[/tex]
[tex]35.41\cdot \cos \theta_{A} = 65.6\cdot \sin \theta_{A}[/tex]
[tex]\tan \theta_{A} = \frac{35.41}{65.6}[/tex]
[tex]\tan \theta_{A} = 0.540[/tex]
Ahora se determina el ángulo de [tex]\vec A[/tex]:
[tex]\theta_{A} = \tan^{-1} \left(0.540\right)[/tex]
La función tangente es positiva en el primer y tercer cuadrantes y tiene un periodicidad de 180 grados, entonces existen al menos dos soluciones del ángulo citado:
[tex]\theta_{A, 1} \approx 28.369^{\circ}[/tex] y [tex]\theta_{A, 2} \approx 208.369^{\circ}[/tex]
Ahora, la magnitud de [tex]\vec A[/tex] es:
[tex]\| \vec A \| = \frac{35\,m^{2}}{4.097\cdot \cos 28.369^{\circ} + 2.865\cdot \sin 28.369^{\circ}}[/tex]

Explanation:
If the figure you're working with is the one shown below, no amount of mixing will reduce the solid content to 35%.
The vessel contains 40% solids.
The incoming feed is ...
(100 kg/h)×(60% solids) = 60 kg solids/h
out of a total influx of material of ...
(100 kg/h +70 kg/h) = 170 kg/h
That means the solids content of the inflow is ...
(60 kg)/(170 kg) = 0.352941 ≈ 35.3%
The solids content cannot ever be less than 35.3%. The problem has no solution.

Answer: The summation of the reaction forces is equal to the applied load.
Explanation:
When solving an indeterminate structure, it is important for one to satisfy the force-displacement requirements, compatibility, and the equilibrium of the structure.
With regards to the above question, for a statically indeterminate axially loaded member, the summation of the reaction forces will be equal to applied load. Here, the summation of the reactive forces will then be zero. This is a condition that is necessary to solve the unknown reaction forces.
A piston–cylinder device contains 0.78 kg of nitrogen gas at 140 kPa and 37°C. The gas is now compressed slowly in a polytropic process during which PV1.3 = constant. The process ends when the volume is reduced by one-half. Determine the entropy change of nitrogen during this process. The gas constant of nitrogen is R = 0.2968 kJ/kg·K. The constant volume specific heat of nitrogen at room temperature is cv = 0.743 kJ/kg·K. (Round the final answer to five decimal places.)
Answers
Answer:
The entropy change of nitrogen during this process. is - 0.32628 kJ/K.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
A piston cylinder device contains =0.78 kg of nitrogen gas
Temperature = 37°C
The nitrogen gas constant of R = 0.2968 kJ/kg.K
At room temperature cv = 0.743 kJ/kg.K
Now,
We assume that at specific condition the nitrogen can be treated as an ideal gas
Nitrogen has a constant volume specific heat at room temperature.
Thus,
From the polytropic relation, we have the following below:
T₂/T₁ =(V₁/V₂)^ n-1 which is,
T₂ = T₁ ((V₁/V₂)^ n-1
= (310 K) (2)^1.3-1 = 381.7 K
So,
The entropy change of nitrogen is computed as follows:
ΔSN₂ = m (cv₁ avg ln T₂/T₁ + ln V₂/V₁)
= (0.78) ((0.743 kJ/kg .K) ln 381.7 K/310K + (0.2968 kJ/kg. K) ln (0.5))
= 0.57954 * 0.2080 + (-0.2057)
= 0.12058 + (-0.2057) = -0.32628
Therefore the entropy change of nitrogen during this process. is - 0.32628 kJ/K.
