In some parts of the country, pumpkin launching is a favorite pastime during Halloween. You've designed a pumpkin launcher that launches the pumpkin at a height of h= 3 ft and want the pumpkin to impact the ground a distance d= 200 ft downfield. The launch speed is v0= 100 ft/s. What is the minimum needed launch angle and the corresponding total time of flight?

During a steady flow process, the change of energy with respect to time is zero. a)- true b)- false

Hydraulic fluid with a sg. of 0.78 is flowing through a 1.5 in. i.d. pipe at 58 gal/min. the fluid has an absolute viscosity of 11.8 x 105 lbf-sec/ft2. is the flow laminar, turbulent or within the critical range? give both a numerical reynolds number and a term answer.

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
