Two long copper rods of diameter d 10 mm are soldered together end to end, with solder having a melting point of 650 c. the rods are in air at 25 c with a convection coefficient of 10 w/m2 k. what is the minimum power input needed to effect the soldering?

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

Ariver flows from north to south at 8 km/h. a boat is to cross this river from west to east at a speed of 20 km/h (speed of the boat with respect to the earth/ground). at what angle (in degrees) must the boat be pointed upstream such that it will proceed directly across the river (hint: find the speed of the boat with respect to water/river)? a 288 b. 21.8 c. 326 d. 30.2
