Determine the reaction at a and e if p=500n what is the maximum value which p may have for static equilibrium? neglect the weight of the structure compared with the applied load s

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.

Steam enters a converging nozzle at 3.0 mpa and 500°c with a at 1.8 mpa. for a nozzle exit area of 32 cm2, determine the exit velocity, mass flow rate, and exit mach number if the nozzle: negligible velocity, and it exits (a) is isentropic (b) has an efficiency of 94 percent

For a gate width of 2 m into the paper, determine the force required to hold the gate abc at its location.
