A rigid horizontal bar ABC is supported by three vertical rods. There is no strain in the rods before load P is applied. After loap P is applied, the axial strain in rod (1) is

Determine the deflection of the rigid bar at B and the normal strain in rods (2) if there is a 0.60-mm clearance in the connection between rod (1) and the rigid bar before the load is applied.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

At steady state, air at 200 kpa, 325 k, and mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s enters an insulated duct having differing inlet and exit cross-sectional areas. the inlet cross-sectional area is 6 cm2. at the duct exit, the pressure of the air is 100 kpa and the velocity is 250 m/s. neglecting potential energy effects and modeling air as an 1.008 kj/kg k, determine ideal gas with constant cp = (a) the velocity of the air at the inlet, in m/s. (b) the temperature of the air at the exit, in k. (c) the exit cross-sectional area, in cm2

Asolid steel sphere (k=63.9 w m-1 k-1 , ? =7832 kg m-3 , c=0.523 kj kg-1 k-1 ), 100 mm in diameter is initially at a uniform temperature of 500o c and is suddenly quenched in a large oil bath for which t? = 100o c and h = 3200 w m-2 k-1. estimate the time required for the sphere to cool to 200o c and to 110o c
